About

Gavel and Quill is a startup incubator, coworking space, and professional services firm based in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, committed to helping entrepreneurs build ventures that matter.

We launch and grow high-impact projects designed to solve some of the world’s most urgent challenges—particularly in climate change, sustainable finance, and responsible technology. We believe the future will be shaped by mission-driven founders, and we’re here to help them succeed.

What We Do

🧪 Startup Incubation

We originate and incubate ventures from scratch, moving ideas through customer discovery, rapid prototyping, MVP development, and first customer acquisition. Every project we support is rooted in real-world problems and designed for measurable impact.

🛠️ Professional Services

We offer strategic and technical support to startups and mission-driven organizations, including:

Website and software development
Business development and analysis
Startup consulting and go-to-market strategy

These services are available both to our incubated projects and to external partners looking to accelerate their growth.

Our Mission

Our goal is to reduce the failure rate of early-stage ventures while increasing their ability to do good.
We believe in:

Customer validation before code
Agile, lean product development
Solving real problems, not building trendy apps

We exist to help founders build companies that are financially sustainable and socially responsible—especially in the areas of:

Software that supports clean energy, recycling, and resilience

ClimateTech and carbon reduction

Tools that empower users and reduce overconsumption
