Blue Ridge Labs

**About Us** **We empower tech driven founders tackling the hardest social issues, ensuring impact by centering the views of those most affected.** **Our Mission** Blue Ridge Labs helps founders create and scale tech-driven solutions that support economic mobility for low income communities. Guided by the lived experiences of New Yorkers, our ventures work directly with communities to co-design solutions that make a meaningful impact. Our alumni have gone on to become Echoing Green Fellows, David Prize winners, and raised rounds from top venture capitalists and philanthropic institutions. Most importantly, their work touches millions of lives every day, proving that scalable, human-centered innovations can create pathways for upward mobility. At BRL, we’re not just fighting poverty—we’re building a world where everyone has the chance to thrive.
