Faces and friends of CO.LAB
CO.LAB is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to accelerating startups in the greater Chattanooga region. We support companies from launch to scale.
We envision an innovative, inclusive and thriving Chattanooga. We believe that entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in this vision, and it is our job to empower this daily.
We believe…
- Entrepreneurship can be transformational for individuals and community members.
- Collaboration creates a synergy that benefits everyone (i.e. a rising tide lifts all boats)
- Diversity and inclusion are key to success.
- Chattanooga’s technological infrastructure is primed for ongoing innovation and business advancement and can be leveraged for entrepreneurial success.
- The city’s key strengths, including industry and those found naturally, can be promoted and protected to support CO.LAB goals.
We provide…
- programs for founders with a vision to rapidly scale their small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or tech-enabled business
- access to traditional and non-traditional capital pathways
- connections to customers, mentors and access to corporate partnerships
- support of the regional talent pipeline to ensure startups can grow in place
