BIOSCIENCE LABORATORIES: If your early-stage life science company needs data to obtain a patent, venture capital, or perform work that is funded by research grants the Bioscience Laboratories - a privately-held incubator for life science companies located in San Francisco - may be perfect. The 12,500 sq. ft. incubator is professionally managed by experienced entrepreneurs.
The Bioscience Laboratories has a can-do record of facilitating the process of turning scientific inventions into products! Former client companies have commercialized 2 medical devices, conducted numerous trials of drug candidates, and launched a novel new drug in an area of great unmet medical need. Four former client companies went public - one was acquired for $2B by a major pharmaceutical company. A current client company was the first of 250 companies funded by Y combinator to initiate clinical trials.
EXCELLENT LOCATION: Located in a historic portion of the heart of SOMA - 1.5 blocks from Oracle Ball Park in a remodeled warehouse building. Convenient to transportation centers including the N and T Muni lines, Caltrain station, Ferry Building, Hwys. 101 and 280. Many fine restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions are nearby. The incubator is a block from a UCSF (Teal) shuttle stop, and a mile from the Mission Bay Campus of UCSF and the Gladstone Institutes that provide scientific instruments and perform analysis on a fee-for-service basis.
COST-EFFECTIVE: Sharing a facility postpones capital investment and reduces the cost of operations.
FEES: Our modular fee structure means operations can be altered easily. Fees cover assigned bench space with shared equipment, wireless internet, utilities, laser printers, use of 3 conference rooms, and as desired can include furnished office with natural light.
FLEXIBILITY: No long term lease is required and delays are minimized.
ATMOSPHERE: A pleasant, collegial environment that fosters productivity and excellence. Access to "value network" through informal interactions with other entrepreneurs. Such networks have been shown to be critical for start-ups to access funds, technology, marketing information, human resources, and vertical integration.
