Our Name

ourname

 

As the Bard said, what’s in a name? We wanted our name to signal that we are new and spunky.  To make it clear we are about art – and more. Collaboration matters to us.  We are a laboratory for new ideas. At Upstart Co-Lab, we know our name is open for interpretation.  So whether you are looking for us as Up-Start Co-Lab, Upstart Colab, Upstart Collab, Up Start Co Lab, Upstart Lab, Upstartco Lab or Upstart Collaboration — we are glad you found us!
