Job Description

ABOUT coLAB \n

coLAB, Inc. is a technology company developing strategic intelligence software for the nonprofit and social impact sector.

\n

\n

The company has developed VERVE , an AI-powered SaaS platform that gives nonprofit leadership teams access to strategic planning and organizational intelligence through an affordable annual subscription.

\n

\n

VERVE is built on more than a decade of proprietary nonprofit consulting methodology developed through direct work with executives and boards across strategy, governance, fundraising, organizational performance, and long-term sustainability.

\n

\n

The platform helps organizations assess organizational health, identify strategic priorities, strengthen governance, develop implementation plans, and continuously measure progress.

\n

\n

coLAB has already completed its initial beta pilot, with 8 of 9 participating organizations converting to paying customers .

\n

\n

The platform is live, customers are paying, and the company is now focused on expanding commercial adoption and building VERVE into the strategic operating system for nonprofit leadership .

THE BOARD OPPORTUNITY \n

coLAB is looking to add a limited number of experienced Board Members as the company moves from early commercial validation into its next stage of growth.

\n

\n

We are looking for senior executives, founders, investors, and experienced board leaders who can contribute informed judgment, relevant relationships, and ownership alignment.

\n

\n

Board Members are expected to contribute at a strategic level around major areas affecting the development of the company, including:

COMMERCIAL MARKET AND SOCIAL IMPACT \n

coLAB serves the nonprofit and social impact sector, but the underlying market is substantial.

\n

The U.S. nonprofit sector contributes more than $1.5 trillion annually to the economy and employs more than 12.5 million people .

\n

\n

More than 97% of nonprofit organizations operate with annual budgets below $5 million , leaving a large segment of the market underserved by traditional consulting firms and enterprise software providers creating a substantial moat for this business model.

\n

\n
