ABOUT coLAB \n
coLAB, Inc. is a technology company focused on improving how nonprofit organizations make strategic decisions.
\n \nFor more than a decade, the leadership team has worked alongside nonprofit executives and boards on strategic planning, governance, fundraising, organizational performance, and long-term sustainability.
\n \nAcross hundreds of engagements, the same problem kept appearing: organizations needed high-quality strategic planning, but traditional consulting engagements were often too expensive, too time-intensive, and difficult to scale.
\n \ncoLAB therefore developed VERVE, an AI-powered SaaS platform that transforms a traditionally expensive strategic planning engagement into an affordable annual subscription.
\n \nBuilt on more than ten years of proprietary nonprofit consulting methodology, VERVE helps leadership teams assess organizational health, identify strategic priorities, strengthen governance, develop implementation plans, and continuously track performance.
\n \nRather than producing a static strategic plan that becomes outdated over time, VERVE is designed to operate as an ongoing strategic intelligence platform for nonprofit leadership.
\n \nThe platform is already live in the market. coLAB has completed its pilot, onboarded paying customers, established tiered pricing, and successfully productized its consulting methodology.
\n \n VERVE has also demonstrated that it can reduce a traditional 150-hour consulting engagement to approximately 10 hours while lowering costs by more than 90%. The company’s longer-term goal is to build the strategic operating system for the nonprofit sector — a platform that helps organizations make better decisions continuously, rather than once every few years.
coLAB is looking for experienced Strategic Executives who can contribute relevant operating experience, commercial perspective, relationships, and ownership alignment as the company grows.
\nThis is not an employment role.
\n \nThe company is looking for individuals who have experience helping businesses move from early validation into commercial scale and who can contribute in specific areas where coLAB intends to grow.
\n \nThose areas include:
\nStrategic Executives may contribute in one or more of these areas based on their background.
\nEngagement is strategic and periodic rather than operational.
\n COMMERCIAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT \ncoLAB serves the nonprofit and social impact market, but the underlying commercial opportunity is significant. The U.S. nonprofit sector contributes more than $1.5 trillion annually to the economy and employs more than 12.5 million people .
\n \nMore than 97% of nonprofit organizations operate with annual budgets below $5 million , creating a large market of organizations that need better strategic infrastructure but are frequently underserved by traditional consulting firms and enterprise software providers creating a natural and sustainable moat for this business model.
\n \nVERVE addresses that market through a recurring-revenue SaaS model. The social impact and commercial model are directly connected.
\n \nIf nonprofit organizations can improve how they allocate resources, make strategic decisions, strengthen governance, and measure performance, they are better positioned to deliver against their missions.
\n \ncoLAB is therefore building a commercial software company around a problem with a clear social impact outcome.
\n WHY coLAB \nThe company already has:
\nVERVE is not built around generic AI alone. Its differentiation comes from more than a decade of proprietary nonprofit consulting methodology, sector-specific workflows, organizational data, and strategic frameworks embedded directly into the platform. The product is designed around nonprofit decision-making rather than operating as a general-purpose AI tool.
\n ROLE OF THE STRATEGIC EXECUTIVE \n Depending on experience, Strategic Executives may contribute across:
Helping coLAB build repeatable revenue growth, pricing, customer success, commercial processes, and expansion strategy.
Providing experience around demand generation, enterprise selling, sales process development, positioning, and customer conversion.
Helping identify channel partners, industry relationships, foundations, nonprofit networks, associations, and other routes to market.
Supporting product development, AI strategy, roadmap prioritization, data strategy, usability, and platform scalability.
Contributing experience around scaling teams, leadership structure, capital planning, governance, and long-term company development.
\n The intention is to match each Strategic Executive to areas where their experience can directly support company growth.
coLAB is looking for individuals who are willing to contribute both strategically and financially.
\nCandidates should have experience evaluating private-company investments and should have the capacity to consider an investment where there is strong mutual alignment.
\n \nWe are looking for individuals who can contribute relevant experience and relationships while also having skin in the game as long-term owners of the business.
\n \nThis is not a salaried position.
\n IDEAL PROFILE \nWe are looking for individuals with 10+ years of senior executive, founder, or investment experience , particularly across:
\nWe are particularly interested in individuals who:
\ncoLAB welcomes applicants from a wide range of professional and industry backgrounds.
\nThe company believes different perspectives and experiences improve decision-making and long-term company development.
