Cultivate Your Startup in a Unified R&D Ecosystem.
At MBC BioLabs, we take care of the maintenance, upkeep, and logistics so you can obsess over the science and nothing else. Our model is designed to eliminate the stress and complexity of launching and growing an idea by bringing innovators together in a vibrant, unified ecosystem consisting of:
- beautiful lab space, offices, conference rooms, and community spaces
- state-of-the-art core equipment
- a ready network of resident and alumni CEO mentors
- dedicated partners—leading pharmaceutical companies, equipment manufacturers, and investors—that spark opportunities
Our labs are operated by a highly seasoned group of entpreneurs and investors who are ready to help resident entrepreneurs with introductions and advice.
How It Works
Rent a bench and get to work.
(We handle the rest.)
Everything at MBC BioLabs is designed to help you stay focused on advancing your science with minimal distractions. We want to help you start getting data in your first week. Actually, we’ll bring you a bottle of Veuve Cliquot Champagne if you do an experiment your first day!
How do we do this:
Each of our labs provides access to millions of dollars’ worth of equipment as well as office space and conference rooms, and our team looks after the equipment and the hundreds of operational details that can hinder your progress.
Getting started is easier than you might think.
The first bench is $1,500/month for the first year (including tips, tubes, and gloves), with graduated discounts beyond one year. There are no fixed costs or long-term commitments. We offer flexible lease terms and an a la carte service model that allows you to rent only what you need. This model minimizes your expenses and gives you time to get the data you need for your startup to obtain financing.
