OUR FOUNDER
RICHARD JACOB
I founded coLARGE to help developers, local authorities, and institutions unlock potential by embedding innovation, enterprise, and community into the way places are activated, designed, and grown.
With over 20 years’ experience across the built environment, regeneration, and innovation sectors, I specialise in turning complex challenges into structured opportunities that deliver commercial value alongside meaningful social and economic outcomes.
My work and focus for coLARGE sits at the intersection of:
• Real estate & regeneration
• Innovation ecosystems
• Community-led economic growth
• ESG, social value & place outcomes
If you’re exploring how innovation-led activation can de-risk development, build identity, and support long-term value, I’d welcome the conversation
