The Housing Venture Lab is one of our flagship initiatives, an accelerator built to provide valuable resources, coaching, and community to entrepreneurs working to change the housing landscape.

This year’s cohort was a really special blend: they’re innovating on issues that have been bottlenecks in improving access to housing, and doing it in a way that’s bold, creative, and ultimately life-changing.

Each year, Terner Labs selects a small cohort of innovators from across the United States to participate in the six-month Housing Venture Lab. The 2023 cohort was made up of visionary leaders implementing transformative ideas to make housing more affordable, accessible, safe, and equitable.

“This year’s cohort was a really special blend: they’re innovating on issues that have been bottlenecks in improving access to housing, and doing it in a way that’s bold, creative, and ultimately life-changing,” says Housing Venture Lab Director Kara Murray-Badal. “It’s become a beautifully dynamic team of grassroots organizations, businesses, and non-profits who can draw from each others’ expertise and knowledge.”

The five cohort members - Revalue.io, Kit Switch, Housing Connector, CredEvolv, and A New Way of Life - represent what Kara calls “a holistic picture of the potential future of the housing industry.”

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing profiles of each of the 2023 cohort members leading up to the announcement of the 2024 Housing Venture Lab cohort. To stay up to date, follow us on LinkedIn or subscribe to the Terner Labs newsletter.
