Mission
Research-driven products and services for socio-economic development
People’s Labs is a social venture dedicated to socio-economic development. It offers research and consulting services, and builds appropriate interface technology products.
The national unemployment rate was reported to be 10% in November 2009. Economists predict that this will stay high over the next year and that it will take a long time to stabilize to regular US unemployment levels, which in itself is higher than many countries. At People’s Labs, we believe that the solution lies at the confluence of comprehensive research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In making this a reality, we are an interdisciplinary graduate team leveraging our diverse educational, practical and community experiences, along with partnerships and guidance from members of academia, non-profits, government, and industry. .
People’s Labs is a PROBE at Project Olympus, a staging incubator for start-ups from Carnegie Mellon University.
