Lab of Lived Experience (Lab OLE) is building community-owned infrastructure that transforms excluded expertise into collective intelligence, policy change and new ventures.

Our purpose is to create a new commons and democracy infrastructure that puts biosystems protection and economic justice-first design at the heart of tech, data, AI and innovation.

Community-owned data + design

We have set out our initial data, design and ethics principles that are non-negotiable and offer an alternative to move us away from the status quo.

We welcome your feedback and will iterate as we grow.


Community-owned

Every model must build community wealth, not extract or consume.

Universal

Everyone needs to protect their biological health…not just the “sick and disabled.”

Integrative

Every system needs excluded expertise, it should not be siloed.

Justice-first

Every venture must build the pathway to economic justice.
