Collaborative Fellowship · Austin, Texas
What We Do
We turn the combined strength of our member companies into real outcomes: new startups led by young founders, funding through incentives and grants, and public projects delivered together.
We launch startups side by side with students and young professionals. Alliance founders mentor every team from first idea to first customer, and members share technical resources, office hours, and product know-how.
We help young ventures and member companies find and win federal, state, and local incentive and grant programs, from R&D and innovation grants to workforce and education funding.
Alliance members join forces to pursue and deliver public sector projects. Together we combine software, payments, education, and mobile expertise to serve cities, agencies, and schools.
