Dirigo Labs Cohort Launch

January 26, 2023, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Free

In 2022, we launched our inaugural cohort, hosted a pitch competition, and celebrated Maine's workforce through the creation of the Better Maine Conference.

Please join us for the launch of our second cohort of 12 companies. Beverages and light hors d'oeuvres will be provided.

The event showcase for the second cohort will feature eleven members and one R&D fellow

who will introduce their startups through a one-minute “pitch” highlighting their respective products or companies.

Meet our 2023 Cohort!
