CO.LAB Accelerator

The Company Lab (CO.LAB) operates this six-week accelerator for early-stage, venture-backable startups using emerging technology in movement-related fields. CO.LAB describes the program as a Chattanooga-based intensive.

The program seeks companies with real traction that are post-revenue or conducting market pilots. Its FAQ also specifies an MVP, with early customers or strong market validation preferred. Relocation to Chattanooga is not required, though CO.LAB encourages participants to spend time there.

During the accelerator, CO.LAB says it matches companies with organizations to explore real-world pilots. The program concludes with a pitch to investors, customers, and innovation leaders.
