WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT COLAB?
Philip Tompkins
CEO/Founder of We Evolve Us
“The CoLab is an amazing resource for entrepreneurs. Every day I find new opportunities that arise from interactions with other CoLab'rs, and they are always happy to share ideas, and lend expertise. So glad we have this here in Roanoke!”
Ian Fortier
Executive Director, Grandin Theater Foundation
“Having the CoLab here in Grandin Village has taken one of Southwest Virginia’s most vibrant neighborhoods and made it even more relevant for our region. The CoLab is rapidly rising to the forefront of our community’s progressive movement, and is managed, leased-by, and visited by a growing number of entrepreneurs, movers and shakers, and change agents that are at the forefront of Roanoke’s positive growth curve.”
Shawn Spencer
Founder of Project: Real Talk
"[CoLab is] an entrepreneurial microcosm of what ‘community’ at-large SHOULD be. The culture is innovative and inspirational."
Brett Rector
Short-Term Project Member
"I had a short-term project that required a significant time commitment, and was desperate to get away from my in-home office. The CoLab offered a perfect solution. The facilities and amenities are top-notch, and the process to sign up for the monthly membership was incredibly easy. Most importantly, the CoLab community was welcoming and helpful from the very beginning."
