Who we are
At Trailhead Biolabs we are planning to redefine the concept of operational incubator lab space. Founded with both science and business in mind we believe that we can disrupt the current idea that state-of-the-art, efficient lab space is only available to the well-funded late-stage startup.
Efficiency
We aim to be your partner, not your landlord. As a partner, your success is our success and we truly believe this. While deconstructing the current delivery of incubator lab space one common theme was that the process is slow and cumbersome. When a business model slows things down and creates unneeded roadblocks that translate to a direct effect on member’s time and resources it’s ready for change.
Flexibility
We want to be a builder of companies. This means a change in size, needs, growth rate. This could also represent a pivot that opens new funding sources but requires more time for R&D. Another common theme in the current delivery model is a lack of flexibility. As the leadership team for your company, knowing that the time, and resources you invest in choosing your lab space will deliver on your immediate and long-term needs. Our plan is to create space that will grow with you. So what’s different?
As long as you’re funded then you have space to work.
Need more room? A private suite? Just ask don’t waste another minute giving your team all the space they need to be productive and successful.
Just close on a Series A round but don’t want to waste that capital on an expensive lab build-out? Then grow with us.
Transparency
Your entire business is collecting data to make informed decisions. Don’t let running your operations be any different. Core-facilities, freezer programs, membership costs are all defined so you get the most out of your investment. knowing where your capital is going and what it’s used for makes all the difference. Need help building these efficiencies into your operations? Partnerships that help you run your business were another lacking resource in the current incubator model. We know you’re focused on the science and introductions that will help you advance this (we have these as well) but let’s not forget about the business side of running a biotech company.
Scaleability
When current providers in the market require you to exit after 24-36 months you are forced to make short-term decisions in a time when you need long-term stability. We are changing the idea that being in the same space for an extended period of time means you are not innovating and keeping pace with your competition. Finding the right place to work from in the beginning allows you to allocate time a capital down the road toward research and not a disruptive move.
