The Problem

Mission-driven institutions often need modern membership and event systems without sacrificing credibility or control.

About

NABC is an institution-facing platform built for a nonprofit legal organization operating out of Ann Arbor.

The product combines membership management, research workflows, accreditation functions, and summit registration inside a single administrative system.

It demonstrates how the studio handles trust-heavy software: where clarity, permissions, and institutional UX are non-negotiable requirements.

The studio

Startup Lab 24 builds and owns software like NABC.

Each product starts as bespoke software for one design-partner business — then we make it agnostic so the whole vertical can use it.
