Common Space Launch Lab
We are seeking visionary startups and companies to join our 2025 cohort, beginning the first week of May. This exclusive program kicks off with an intro to both branding and human-centered product design (UX), where we will explore the process of crafting a compelling digital product and visual identity through real-world case studies and a Q&A session with our expert design studio.
Following the session, you’ll benefit from personalized one-on-one sessions from May through July. By the program’s end, each participant will have a complete branding package and a prototype version of a digital product ready to present to investors or potential partners, along with a month of coaching and support through July.
This offer is reserved for a select group of emerging impact-driven innovators and is not intended to replace our full, bespoke branding and product design services. To maintain exclusivity, candidates must qualify by completing our questionnaire below.
Designed for first-time ventures and small businesses operating on limited capital, this program will select candidates based on the uniqueness of their concept and the socio-economic context from which they emerge. In today’s unpredictable landscape amid evolving government policies and shifting community dynamics—we remain steadfast in our commitment to empowering innovators who are dedicated to creating a sustainable, socially impactful future.
Take this opportunity to elevate your vision with creative collaboration and strategic branding.
