WHAT IS THE TRANSPORTATION LAB?

If you’re a startup creating an AI or robotics technology in transportation, you’ve come to the right place.

The Transportation Lab focuses on how the transportation ecosystem will be reinvented in the next 5 years. We will work closely with passionate startups in this space, providing access to things that money can’t buy — think HD mapping data, autonomous testing vehicles, and space to pilot.

We want to hear your idea for creating the future of transportation.

Focused

We’ve built an ecosystem of stakeholders and resources that’s uniquely suited to the needs of startups building AI tools for transportation.

Resource-full

We’re all about getting you what you need. If there are things from our network or partner that would help you succeed, we’ll work to get it for you.

Collaborative

Our corporate partners provide the field-tested input, go-to-market channels, and advice on product definition that AI companies need.

We’re exploring technologies including:

AUTONOMY
ON-BOARD SENSORS
DRIVER-FOCUSED SENSORS
INFRASTRUCTURE
INTELLIGENT COMPONENTS
INTELLIGENT SERVICES

PROGRAM DETAILS

Advisory

We’ll pair you with a member of the investment team who will support you throughout the program. During bi-weekly meetings you will have the opportunity to get personalized guidance, ask questions, and let us know what we can do to enable your success.

We have worked hard to put together a talented and curated group of mentors to provide their technical, business, and transportation industry knowledge. We won’t be assigning mentors or dictating office hours, but rather connecting you with the right experts to answer your questions as they come up. How you develop these relationships beyond the program (in the form of formal advisors roles, etc) is up to you.

Community Events

We will kickoff the program in April by bringing everyone together at a welcome happy hour, and then every other week we will host informal dinners featuring 2-3 mentors. They will briefly talk about their relevant areas of expertise, past and current work, and thoughts on the future of transportation before breaking into a more general discussion.

We will also organize a variety of other events, like roundtables, hackathons, and happy hours that you can choose to attend as your schedule permits.

Capstone Event

The program culminates in a Sales Day in June when you’ll have a chance to showcase your honed products to partners and other potential customers.
