Public Service, Reimagined for the Civic Sphere
Empowering mission-driven professionals to turn their passion for public service into innovative ventures that deliver real impact for communities.
What We Do
Welcome to the Public Value Lab - a dynamic community for those driven by a commitment to public good.
At The Public Value Lab, we nurture and accelerate ideas that advance the public good. Our work centers on supporting individuals and teams who are driven by a sense of public service. We help them turn their innovative concepts into impactful ventures that thrive outside of traditional government structures.
Join us to transform ideas into action and build a better future together.
"The Idea Generation workshops provided a wonderful forum for us to share and get excellent feedback on our business ideas. I really appreciated the friendly, supportive environment in which we all lifted up each other and helped refine our ideas through thoughtful feedback and discussion. Over the course of the two workshops, I was able to modify and refine my ideas to land on a business concept that seems promising and practical. As a first-time would-be entrepreneur, I left feeling empowered and encouraged to pursue this new path".
