WhatOur goal at CO.LAB COMMUNITY MAKERS is to empower creators of all backgrounds regardless of financial situation, ethnicity, or orientation by providing a safe space that facilitates powerful ideas and access to tools. We aim to support our community makers in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
WhyCO.LAB COMMUNITY MAKERS wants to be allies who break down historical and economic barriers so that innovators of color, women, the queer community, and other underrepresented groups are more recognized as an essential part of Austin’s creative community. It’s time to level the playing field.
