Each year, I meet with the new cohorts to learn what they are doing and to connect them with members who may add insight into their process and to connect them with opportunities. We were pleased to have Upward Labs present to our members on Proptech as a part of last spring’s technology series. On September 30th, I had the chance to meet startups who are part of Upward Labs 4th cohort. This year’s cohort supports a theme of sustainability, from environmental and location risk assessment to a twist on energy efficiency that moves beyond the concept of a smart home.
We've created a special webpage to introduce you to the 2021 Spring Cohort of startups. Meet the Cohort!
Many thanks to Shana Schlossberg and Greg Flynn for nurturing the connection. Look for Greg next Friday on the putting green for the Annual Golf Classic as Upward Labs is the sponsor of our putting green contest!

The objective: to create a just profession, bring social awareness to the built environment and empower communities through design. “I Was Asked to Stand” empowers the audience to engage in the dismantling of injustice by highlighting the lack of representation, documentation, and acknowledgment of the great works of diverse (Women and BIPOC) designers and architects. |
