River City Labs is an Australian coworking space and accelerator founded in 2012.
River City Labs was founded by tech entrepreneur Steve Baxter to support the entrepreneurial scene in Queensland.[1] River City Labs provides a coworking space, mentoring, workshops and other services to help members develop their concepts into businesses.[2]
In 2015, River City Labs was able to expand into the accelerator space, dubbed RCL Accelerator, due to a partnership with the Telstra backed muru-D accelerator program. In late 2015 River City Labs announced plans to double in size.[3] In 2017 Shoes of Prey co-founder Mike Knapp and Reload Media Founder Llew Jury were appointed joint Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIR) [4]
In 2017, River City Labs more than doubled in size after moving into the T.C. Beirne Building, as part of the Queensland Government's Startup Precinct initiative. Other tenants include the CSIRO's Data61.[5] [6]
