The Workers Lab invests in transformative ideas that ensure workers are safe, healthy, secure, and have power, aiming to modernize and make more inclusive the ways our country serves workers. Focusing on worker-led ideas, particularly from entrepreneurs of color and women, they aim to address the historical gap in early investment these groups face.
The Innovation Fund, managed by The Workers Lab since 2014, has provided $6.4 million to 86 innovators tackling critical challenges. The fund offers fellowship opportunities focusing on Climate Justice and Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), addressing the significant impacts of climate change and AI on workers. The fellowship aims to empower innovators with training, mentorship, and investment to scale their ideas, targeting solutions that enhance work conditions, promote a green economy, and ensure equitable access to opportunities presented by AI. Selected fellows receive a monthly stipend, engage in programming, and have a chance to win up to $200,000 in investment, along with a year of additional support.
