Reinventing the way engineering teams design collaboratively.
Our mission is to build the future — faster.
Our founders are mechanical engineers who've worked on innovative technology ranging from advanced medical devices and electric cars to breakthrough Hyperloop pod design and billion-dollar energy projects. But across the industry, no matter what tech they worked on, one thing was always the same: every team was stuck using archaic processes for working together—and it was slowing them down.
So, instead of wishing and waiting for a better way, Adam and Jeremy parked their design careers... and started building the tools engineers deserve.
As seen and heard on
One team. One mission.
Adam is a mechanical engineer who co-founded CoLab out of sheer frustration when he saw how engineers were being held back by inadequate tools for working together. He led development of one of the world’s first Hyperloop vehicles (taking home 2nd place internationally at SpaceX’s 2017 competition), he's invented an electric propulsion system for large-scale aircraft, designed systems for biology-guided radiotherapy, and managed elements of multi-billion dollar energy projects—just to name a few achievements!
Jeremy is a mechanical engineer and programming enthusiast who co-founded CoLab after running into the same problem everywhere in industry: the tools available to engineering teams were decades behind the software industry. From captaining Memorial University’s award-winning SAE Baja team and working as a designer on the Paradigm Hyperloop team to experience with industry heavy-hitters like Tesla and General Dynamics, one of Jeremy’s many accomplishments includes designing “the most complex wire harness ever used in a Tesla battery pack.”
Taylor has worked with hundreds of engineers across the design and manufacturing space to clarify their challenges, understand their goals, and help solve the tough problems holding their team back. She led the Enactus Memorial team to a world championship win for their work using grassroots hydroponics to address food insecurity in Canada's North—the first Canadian team to ever claim the title. In 2020 Taylor was named one of Atlantic Canada’s Top 30 Under 30 Innovators.
As CoLab’s CMO, MJ brings a mix of industrial and Software as a Service (SaaS) experience to her role. Prior to CoLab, MJ led sales and marketing at Refine Labs, where she worked with 50+ venture backed B2B software companies on demand generation. Before that, she spent 6 years working at FTSE 100 Halma plc, a group of mid-sized manufacturing businesses focused on medical, environmental, and safety technology.
With a career spanning more than two decades and covering the education, digital imaging, telecommunications, healthcare, energy/utilities, and financial sectors—Robert brings a wealth of information technology and cybersecurity knowledge to the CoLab team. From high-level security strategy to low-level packet analysis, this lifelong autodidact has done it all. A strong supporter of the security community, Robert is a primary organizer and volunteer for the annual Security BSides conference: Newfoundland and Labrador’s only dedicated information and cybersecurity event.
Jake leads CoLab’s finance organization and drives a disciplined, data‑driven approach to planning, forecasting, and execution. He brings a decade of leadership in high‑growth B2B SaaS where he helped raise several hundred million dollars, led multiple acquisitions, launched IPO‑readiness efforts, and supported growth to 900+ employees across seven countries. Beyond finance and accounting, Jake has built and led teams across corporate development, tax, treasury, investor relations, HR, and business intelligence.
Taylor is known for her transformative and coach driven leadership in developing top talent at SaaS start-ups. She is an expert in enterprise, SMB, and commercial B2B multi-product software sales with a suite of repeatable sales processes and playbooks. Taylor brings over 15 years experience in sales to CoLab and has driven scale of up to +$40M. Taylor is a writer, public speaker, and has also spent time as an adjunct professor where she educated students in Sales Strategy, Pricing and Entrepreneurship.
Sydney brings to CoLab both passion and years of experience building Customer Success teams focused on maximizing customer value. With a firm belief that a customer’s success is rooted in the collective organizations unification around their needs, Sydney and her teams have worked in lock-step with every x-functional function to ensure customer value is at the core of every decision made.
