KRIO-LAB

Krio Lab supports early-stage founders who are ready to turn their ideas into living, breathing projects.

Over 12 weeks, you co-build your brand, website, and digital presence with a team that speaks your language—literally and culturally.

Early-Stage Startups & ideas led by:

• Women, youth, and community organizers
• Founders working in mental health, education, cultural preservation, food systems, or local innovation
• Projects that center Kriolu language and values
• Creators who need digital identity but don’t have the budget or tech skills

You Don’t Need:

• A registered business (ideas welcome)
• Tech experience (we’ll teach you)
• Perfect Portuguese or English (Kriolu e bem-vindu)

You Do Need:

• A clear problem you’re solving for your community
