Welcome to the JRTI Company Lab

Our purpose is to provide a central location for aspiring entrepreneurs to realize their dream.

We believe that the Mountain State is rich with folks determined to build a better future for themselves and our mission is to help them achieve their goals through quality, relevant instruction and guidance.

The JRTI Company Lab instructors work one-on-one, conduct workshops and teach startup classes to eligible students year ‘round. Some classes are free of charge and others require tuition.
