Blue Ridge Labs Catalyst Program 2025

Blue Ridge Labs Catalyst Program is a five-month incubator designed to grow early-stage ventures that tackle economic inequality. It offers a combination of financial support (up to $90,000) and in-kind resources, mentorship, and access to a co-working space to help participants refine product offerings and operating models. The program targets ventures less than 1-2 years old, with some previous product development and a path toward scaling.

Financial funding, in-kind and discounted resources, access to mentors and talent, product development support, and community connections to donors and impact investors.

Ventures that are less than 1-2 years old after the discovery phase and have launched a small-scale version of their product and are ready to scale.
