Collaboratories

Collaboratories bring together small cohorts from the government, private, nonprofit sectors & those with lived expertise for 3-month sprints to design focused, systemic solutions that can be prototyped and tested in Denver and beyond.

Collaboratory #1 – Launching in May 2024 – will design a solution to connect people in need of resources with available resources, something that is not happening sufficiently today.
