Current Cohort
Our Spring 2026 Venture Lab cohort includes the following teams:
Kloob
Team member: Emilio Sese
Kloob is an event management platform that helps leaders plan, promote and run events, so communities can stay engaged without burning out. Event planning today is fragmented across group chats, spreadsheets, forms and social media, making it stressful to run events and hard for members and patrons to know what’s happening. Kloob brings all that together in one convenient app.
Open Prem
Team members: Evan Moore and Tessa Manuszak
Open Prem is developing an opensource foundation for building and connecting AI applications across any environment. They are empowering developers and organizations to create, deploy and scale AI solutions securely and collaboratively, without the limitations of proprietary platforms.
Persistent Cyber Improvement
Team member: Richard Harknett
PCI is developing a gamified cyber training software that prepares corporate and government entities for cyber attacks. The company is led by the head of the Ohio Cyber Range Institute, whose award-winning theory on cyber persistence has shaped federal and Ohio state policies on preventing cyberattacks.
REVL
Team member: Isaiah Clifford
REVL is building a safety technology platform that enables automobile operators to use AI insights and data analytics to reduce the likelihood of accidents based on predicted driving conditions. The platform provides low-distraction delivery to inform drivers of hazardous areas, including high-traffic zones and low-visibility intersections.
