What We Do
Maroon and Gold Labs is a non-profit corporation that is designed to incubate ideas created by Cooper Union students, staff, faculty and alumni. Cooper teams are mentored and compensated as they refine ideas. Preference will be given to interdisciplinary teams.

How It Works
Cooper teams apply to the program with an idea for a new venture. Teams that are accepted into the lab will develop their idea while receiving support from alumni mentors. At the end of each academic cycle, teams will report on their progress and be eligible for continued support from the lab.
Recent Highlights
New round of awards coming soon
Thank you to all of our generous donors! We have received 30 donations from alumni ranging from the class of 1961 to 2017, and we are able to fund two Cooper startup teams in Spring 2020!
