"Batch 17 is now complete at Lighthouse Labs, and I couldn’t be prouder of what these incredible founders have accomplished! Working alongside each of these companies has been a true privilege. Their passion, resilience, and commitment to innovation inspire me every day. From tackling big challenges to creating solutions that will make a lasting impact, they are defining what it means to be visionary leaders. Watching these founders grow, pivot, and succeed has been a humbling experience. I’ve learned so much from each team and feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to support and learn from such a dynamic group. A huge thank you to the Lighthouse Labs team (Glenna Croy and Gina Galloway are magical and amazing), mentors, and the broader Richmond community for creating such a nurturing and vibrant ecosystem for growth. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love this work." - Debbie Irwin, Managing Director, Lighthouse Labs

Our last week of the program is always the best because we get to hang out in-person with all of our amazing founders, mentors, board members, and community. Thanks to VIPC | Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation, Williams Mullen, Henrico Economic Development Authority and the Lighthouse Labs Board for hosting our founders over lunch and breakfast. There is so much more that we loved about in-person week, but here are a few shots of the folks our cohort got to hang out with!
