Tasia Malakasis shares her career journey from working in startups to buying and scaling a cheese company to her role as CEO of CO.LAB, a startup accelerator in Chattanooga, focusing on electrification and clean mobility. During the episode, Tasia talks about CO.LAB's Sustainable Mobility program that focuses on the future movement of people, goods, energy, and data. The program's goal is to select six teams for a 12-week program, providing strategic support, mentorship, and access to industry partners and investors, with a focus on startups in the clean energy space that are post-revenue and have a clear path to scale. Be sure to listen until the end to hear Tasia talk about their reverse pitch approach, where industry partners present problems to startups, encouraging them to develop solutions.
