Hear From Our Alum

The LAP taught me a repeatable process for creative problem solving and product development

Demetrius Lancaster

What I learned during the LAP is a process that replicates in any case of business and development. With this repeatable approach to design and building, I learned not to make a 12 month plan and put my head down and go to work. Instead, I learned how to be agile, plan out 3 months, and make time to reflect and adapt. It changed my mindset as a founder leader.

Guadalupe Valdovinos

The LAP altered my perspective on entrepreneurship and innovation because it shifted my focus from being on what I thought the solution was for my customers to actually seeking feedback on what my potential costumers needed and wanted. With this kind of market research it was easier to trust that what I was bringing to the market had value for my customers.

No one else is making creative tech accessible the way that Floreo Labs is

Chanteé Hallett

"We had a unique idea and didn’t know who else to contact. No one else is making creative tech accessible the way that Floreo Labs is. They made it seem like it was possible to get this idea off the ground and then showed us the way, held us accountable and helped us to flush out our business plan. Today, we feel confident enough to take what we learned and use it to keep growing our business."

Learning an engineering mindset helped me reach my 2 year business anniversary!

Brittany Wallace

“When people build businesses, they often do it because they think it’s a great idea but they never actually get feedback from the people they made the business for. With the L.A.P. we were encouraged to build our business based on real user feedback which saved us time, energy and money."

An Iterative Approach to Prototyping and Building

by Alex Ocampo

"The Floreo Labs team is committed to the success of everyone they interact with. They've helped me incubate and launch numerous tech projects now. Their approach is one that makes sure you learn the ins-and-outs and have fun along the way. Would highly recommend working with the Lab to bring your next idea to life."

Save time, Build Smart

Jasmin Hernandez

The L.A.P. helped me to learn a lot about the community I aim to support and the problems they face, which is leading the way for me to make a community-driven product.

An Equity Free Way to Bring Your Ideas to Life

Yusuf Britton

During the L.A.P. I was able to form the foundation of my app, work on the structure of my MVP, and learn how to pitch it! From start to finish, going through the design thinking process in such a guided way helped to make the process of bringing my creative tech idea to live manageable and affordable.
