Located in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, Florida, the LAB Miami is a social and tech innovation campus currently accepting applications for its founding class.
The facilities are impressive: a 10,000 square foot location that serves a dual-purpose as part co-working space with an in-house community of angels and venture investors, and part education center that will host classes, workshops, and special events. A nice touch is that the campus hosts a farmer's market on Saturdays.
So far, the LAB Miami has 70 members representing 54 companies, and membership is currently open to a mix of tech startups and designers to nonprofits and academics.
