Cogo Labs

Who we are: We’re not your average startup incubator. We think bigger than that. We aspire to be at the nexus of innovation and entrepreneurship. Located in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts, we capitalize on our proximity to successful technologists and organizations to foster the next generation of leaders at the forefront of consumer technology. We’re building companies, accelerating careers, and pioneering innovative, data-driven ways to transform the Boston tech community and entrepreneurial ecosystem around us. What we do: We’re on a mission to de-risk entrepreneurship by analyzing billions of data points to build and scale efficient, mission-driven companies that never fail to delight consumers. In a world where access to capital is biasing which populations can pursue entrepreneurship, we give smart, innovative founders the tools they need to test their offerings based on merit. Over the past twelve years, we’ve created the technology and processes to incubate successful companies, and we’re just getting started. Why we do it: We know that innovative ideas come from anywhere. That’s why we stay passionately curious. The companies we incubate are only as innovative as the breadth of lived experiences shared by the teams developing them. We aspire to transform the way that companies are built by creating a culture of innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity that extends beyond our four walls.
