What our founders are saying

Co.Labs gave me the tools to build Cadence

"I entered Co.Launch with a problem I needed to solve but no technical expertise. As a non-tech founder, Co.Launch gave me the tools I needed to start and grow Cadence. I would not be where I am today without Co.Labs and I am forever grateful."

Rachel Drew

Founder & CEO, Cadence

Co.Labs is a world-class accelerator

"Co.Launch is where you go to take your idea to the next level. It is a world-class accelerator in our own backyard and it completely changed how I see the world. I now feel like I have the tools I need to build a massive company."

Dawson Norrish

Founder & CEO, ArcticShelf

Co.Labs pushed us to better define and validate our product

The Co.Launch program was really valuable as it pushed us to better define and validate our product. As non-technical founders, the program also taught us how to take our business skills and apply them to a tech company.
