Meridian Collective started in 2019, when a handful of Meridian Academy graduates asked a simple question: what if the best final projects did not end at graduation? What began as a few evening builds is now the home where our graduates, mentors and advanced students keep building together.
Clients come to us with real problems, from a fishing cooperative that wanted to sell its catch directly to a health network that wanted calmer waiting rooms. We form a small team around each one, pair it with a senior mentor, and work in the open from the first workshop to launch day.
How a project team is formed
- A mentor lead who owns quality, scope and every client conversation.
- Two to four graduates who design, build and test the product day to day.
- Academy students who join specific milestones as part of their training.
This portal exists so you never have to ask where things stand. Every project page shows its current stage, its milestones and the people working on it, updated by the team as the work moves forward.
