City Startup Labs is a small nonprofit based in Charlotte, North Carolina, established in 2012. It provides resources, training, and mentorship to support justice-impacted individuals as they reenter the workforce, primarily through two programs: ReEntry Entrepreneurship Program (REEP) and Restorative Pathways. REEP offers instruction, mentorship, and access to a broad network to help participants start and grow their own businesses. Launched in 2021, Restorative Pathways aims to identify, train, and monitor progress of justice-involved people pursuing careers in fields such as healthcare and construction, while helping employers adopt fair-chance hiring practices. The organization is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. In 2026, City Startup Labs expanded with a new location in Charlotte and introduced a worker-owned tech repair shop, signaling growth beyond its core offerings.
