Rhode Island Helps Us Help You

Being based in Rhode Island positions Blackburn Labs to better serve you.

First, RI is very proactive in supporting their technology companies with their many great programs and organizations. For example, as a software company in Providence, we are able to be members of great RI organizations like the Tech Collective. They offer dozens of excellent programs, trainings, and workshops. It’s through them our team becomes certified scrum masters.

As Allyson Cote, COO and co-founder of Maternova, recently told Rhode Island Inno:

“Providence has the good fortune to be home to many incubators, accelerators, and possesses an entrepreneurial spirit like few cities can boast.”

The state’s support of innovation and technology is evident from a report by the RI Department of Labor and Training, which found that STEM occupations are projected to grow at almost twice the pace of other occupations in RI between 2014 and 2024.

This dedication has led to many advantages for technology companies, including a study by Seek Capital which found that the Providence metro area has the third-highest concentration of female-led startups in the country.

Blackburn Labs has felt this support directly, such as:

• Receiving a letter from RI Governor Gina Raimondo recognizing our work
• Being interviewed by Providence Business News about our CEO

Although our clients are spread across the nation, being within driving distance of Boston, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey offers easy access to innovation hubs for industries like Healthcare, Real Estate, Education, and Finance.

We are particularly proud when something like our virtual healthcare app is featured in local news, such as the Boston news coverage.
