Our Vision
Why We Built This Platform
The undergraduate research recruitment process has historically been slow, fragmented, and inefficient. We built ColLab because we saw how difficult it was for both sides to connect.
Students were clearly motivated, but lacked a definitive path to getting involved. Faculty wanted to mentor these motivated students, but disliked the logistics of managing outreach. Our goal was to create a focused solution; one that could seamlessly integrate into a university’s existing system while removing barriers that prevent great research teams from forming.
It’s time to say goodbye to friction on both sides of the process and welcome infrastructure that makes research collaboration more accessible, organized, and streamlined. Because when high quality connections are fostered, they don’t just support individual success—they fuel the future of research at your institution.
