Through a Fellowship Program, Managerial Assistance and Mentoring opportunities, the Lab provides small diverse businesses in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island with tools and solutions they can take back to their organizations and communities and use in their day-to-day activity to improve their business operations, transform their business models, increase their market reach or tackle other business-related challenges. A major focus is on entrepreneurs from disadvantaged communities recovering from the effects of the pandemic. Diverse businesses have the opportunity to tap into Northeastern University’s entrepreneurial ecosystems of centers, institutes, and start-up labs.
