Dirigo Labs is mid-Maine’s newest accelerator program driving impact for startups and entrepreneurs while harnessing the entrepreneurship and digital skills of our students, graduates, academic faculty, and business owners to build a sustainable tech and innovation hub that powers a thriving rural economy. The accelerator will offer a semiannual cohort-based curriculum targeted to the needs of maturing startups, which are not met by existing resources. In addition to curriculum, accepted cohort applicants will enjoy access to high- quality workspaces with physical and telematics infrastructure, and accelerator graduates will be offered flexible, discounted workspace memberships.
