Are you fed up with being blocked in your biotech dreams? You may have the science and a fearless attitude to take on the world, but finding the perfect space for the lab could be the difference between succeeding in your venture and quitting.
The Big Challenge: Finding Biotech Lab Space in California
Finding world class wet lab space in California (and especially in the Bay Area) is the single hardest thing an early stage biotech can face. High prices, unfavorable lease structures, expensive equipment, and funding timelines all put pressure on scientists and companies to not only succeed in their research, but also do so under the most stressful situations.
The lack of lab facilities means that countless scientists who could change the world simply don’t have the resources or support to pursue their passion. For our founder Dr. David Kiewlich, that lack of opportunity led to 18 months of looking for the right place.
