# From a coworking space to a *technology* company.

InnoLabs did not start as a software company. It started as AngkorHUB, a coworking and social innovation center in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The coworking space closed in 2020. The mission did not.

01 / 2013

### AngkorHUB founded

Jeff Laflamme starts AngkorHUB in Siem Reap, a coworking project that would open to the public the following year.

02 / 2014–2020

### Coworking + coliving + social innovation

Seven years running workshops, mentorship programs, and incubation for Cambodian entrepreneurs, and connecting them with a global network.

03 / 2015–present

### InnoLabs carries the mission

Founded in 2015 alongside AngkorHUB. When the physical space closed in March 2020, the technology work continued, and scaled.

## Being productive. Being *positive*.

In a country where the living wage was set at $177/month, AngkorHUB empowered people who could not afford to take career risks on their own.

01

### Workshops & training

Weekly community events, educational lectures, and vocational tutorials, run with partner organizations and independent instructors.

02

### Mentorship programs

The Digital Nomad Mentorship Program and The Coworking Exchange connected local talent with international professionals, bridging the technology skills gap through direct collaboration.

03

### Incubation

Working with social enterprises and NGOs on shared causes, rather than reinventing the wheel alone.

Featured on e27 and listed among Asia's pioneer coliving spaces. AngkorHUB sat minutes from downtown Siem Reap and a bicycle ride from Angkor Wat.

## From *space* to *systems*.

Where AngkorHUB empowered people through physical space and mentorship, InnoLabs empowers businesses through software, systems integration, and digital infrastructure: the same commitment to Cambodia's growth, expressed through a different medium.

### AngkorHUB *(2013 – 2020)*

Physical space in Siem Reap. Coworking, coliving, and community events. Workshops, mentorship, and social-impact incubation. Closed to the public March 2020. Community persists.

### InnoLabs *(2015 – present)*

Technology company built alongside AngkorHUB, now spanning Odoo ERP, fractional leadership, and rapid prototyping across Cambodia, Singapore, and beyond.

## Every business owner already knows what's *broken*.

Most software pretends to teach you your own business. We start the other way around.

"The hunch you can't quite articulate becomes the workflow that runs your day. Your team's intuition *compounds* instead of getting lost in tickets, sticky notes, and spreadsheets."

That's the same idea AngkorHUB ran on, applied to code instead of meeting rooms: empowering people who already know things their software doesn't.

## Projects born from the same *spirit*.

Community tools, open infrastructure, and social-impact work, alongside the commercial client projects that fund them.

## The journey *continues*.

From a coworking space to a technology company, the mission has always been the same: empower people and businesses in Cambodia through technology and community.
