About

Urban Technology Lab is a supportive space where people can explore ideas, learn by doing, and grow at their own pace. We know that sometimes the hardest part of starting something is not the building part. It is figuring out what to focus on. Many people have big creative energy and lots of ideas but they do not always know which idea to choose first.

Here you can slow down, talk through your idea, ask questions, and get clarity. We help you narrow your focus so you can create a simple first version that you can test. We believe that small steps can lead to big breakthroughs.

What We Believe

We believe in learning by trying
We believe in building with purpose
We believe in honesty and encouragement
We believe community makes ideas stronger
We are not here to judge ideas. We are here to help you shape them.

Who We Are

We are a welcoming community of entrepreneurs, small business owners, creative people, engineers, coders, and curious thinkers. This is a place where it is normal to ask someone what they are working on. It is okay to ask for help. It is okay to share your progress and your stuck moments. We check in on each other. We celebrate small wins. We learn from each other.

You do not have to figure things out alone. There is always someone here who understands what it feels like to start from scratch.
