Strategy, Insight, and Technology—Moving as One
In addition to consulting services, many members of the coLAB team have spent years working in other industries, particularly in technology, making this a natural collaboration of strategy and systems.
coLAB was originally founded in 2014 to help mission-driven organizations lead with clarity, adapt with intention, and make a meaningful difference in their communities. Through expert strategic planning, facilitation, and systems change work, the team built deep partnerships rooted in real-world experience.
In 2025, coLAB relaunched with renewed focus, bringing together decades of experience in consulting and technology. The result was a team grounded in values, driven by purpose, and equipped to deliver both expert guidance and an intelligent platform, VERVE.
This story isn’t just our past, it shapes how we lead, how we partner, and how we build strategy designed for lasting good.
