OUR Tech Idea Lab
​Got a business idea you keep coming back to?
Let’s build on it!

OUR Tech (Our Upcoming Revolution’s Technology) is a social impact and tech consultancy based in Champaign-Urbana. Over the last few years, we've helped local businesses grow, hosted community events, and taken on projects that meet real needs across the city.

​

The OUR Tech Idea Lab is a free mentorship program for early entrepreneurs. In your first three months, you’ll meet our team, see how we work, and get paired with one of our leads to map out your next steps. From there, you and your mentor decide what the relationship looks like. Along the way, you’ll learn from the four pillars behind our work: community impact, community outreach, clientele sustainability, and technology driven solutions.

Every idea is welcome, at any stage. Maybe you’re still figuring out who your idea serves, or you’ve got a business plan and need your paperwork in order. We’ll share what worked for us and point you to resources that fit.

This form is on a rolling basis, so once you enter on this form, we'll get back to you within the next 3 to 5 business days.
