Moving Ideas Into Action
About This Event
Rally’s Co-Creation Lab is a high-impact, hands-on session designed to accelerate early-stage social ventures. We bring together civic leaders, sector experts, and community partners to bridge the gap between promising ideas and measurable impact.
In partnership with 4Roots, Central Florida Foundation, the City of Orlando, and Orange County, this Lab leverages cross-sector expertise to support social entrepreneurs building solutions for Central Florida’s most pressing challenges.
The Goal: A 90-Day Path Forward
The objective of this Lab is to move each Fellow’s venture forward in a positive, tangible way. By the end of the session, every team will have co-created a Next-Step Playbook—a tactical 90-day roadmap designed to clear hurdles, unlock resources, and initiate real-world momentum.
Who Should Attend
We are looking for professionals and community members who possess the resources, expertise, or lived experience necessary to move the needle on social and environmental challenges:
Civic Leaders & Public Officials: Individuals who can navigate regulatory landscapes and align ventures with municipal priorities.
Sector Experts & Technical Specialists: Industry veterans and specialists (e.g., Biochar, AgTech, Sustainability) who can vet technical feasibility and provide specialized insights.
Corporate & Foundation Partners: Leaders looking to align corporate resources with community-driven solutions and explore potential pilot opportunities.
Ecosystem Connectors: Individuals with deep networks who can open doors to key stakeholders and strategic partners.
Founders & Innovators: Peers who understand the accelerator journey and can provide practical, strategic advice.
What You Will Do
Participants are matched with one of our Winter 2026 Fellows based on expertise and sector alignment. As a stakeholder at the table, you will:
Identify Hurdles: Pinpoint specific regulatory, technical, or network barriers currently stalling progress.
Map Unlocks: Leverage your professional experience and networks to identify the partners and resources needed to move the needle.
Co-Design the Sprint: Help the Fellow build a concrete 90-day action plan with clear commitments and immediate next steps.
Why Your Participation Matters
Direct Impact: Provide the critical "unlock" that helps a social venture transition from an idea to a pilot.
Cross-Sector Collaboration: Work alongside diverse leaders to solve systemic community challenges.
Radical Efficiency: Move beyond traditional networking into a structured process that delivers a finished roadmap in four hours.
