What OMG Labs Group does

OMG Labs Group, LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped co-working and creator collective founded in 2016 in Downtown Orlando and rebranded from The Orlando Game Space to OMG Labs in 2023 to reflect a broadened focus on gaming, media, and frontier technologies. The company operates a single physical hub at 421 E Robinson St, Orlando, FL 32801 (with a secondary address at 36 W Pine St), offering tiered memberships: Virtual Office at $50/month, Floating Desk at $199/month, Permanent Desk at $350/month, and Private Office starting at $700/month. Across these tiers, members receive high-speed internet, gaming lounges, event space, a full kitchen, business address and mail handling, and 24/7 access depending on plan.

The business model combines recurring membership subscriptions with paid Growth Programs (1-, 3-, and 6-month mentorship tracks), curated business development and project referrals between external clients and vetted member studios, and event hosting. The collective comprises 38 vetted member companies spanning serious games, entertainment games, video production, AR/VR/XR, AI/ML/CV, simulation, branded storytelling, and software development. OMG Labs curates access to frontier-technology talent, partners with academic institutions (UCF, Full Sail, FIEA, DAVE School, Valencia, Rollins, Seminole State) and government/economic-development bodies (City of Orlando, Florida High Tech Corridor, Tech Grove, Melrose Center), and supports 50+ community events per year. No external funding has been raised; ownership is founder- and community-supported, with Kunal Patel as Co-Founder and Executive Director and a board that includes Derrick Barra, Isabella Johnston, Anthony Bagsby, Manny Efragusus, and Ed McBride.
