Bioscience startups have a big challenge:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to do research, testing, and product dev on a budget. This means they often can\u2019t access well-outfitted lab space and top-tier equipment.<\/p>\n

Of course, established multinational companies with eight-figure research budgets can build their own labs and buy all the nice science toys they want. But bioscience startups without big levels of funding are left out in the cold.<\/p>\n

Part of our core mission is to make cutting-edge bioscience accessible to startups. Here\u2019s Yash Sabharwal from NanoMedical<\/a>, one of our member companies:<\/p>\n

Today, I want to give you a glimpse of how we equip our member companies.<\/p>\n

First, all companies at ABI have access to core labs, bench space, conference space, and a break area. We\u2019re also fully stocked with $1.7M of best-in-class equipment and instrumentation that allows our startups to research, test, and develop your product\u2014and explore emerging science. All of this includes 24-hour card access on the beautiful ACC Highland campus in Austin.<\/p>\n

Second, we handle the infrastructure needs for all our startups including power, water, and city wastewater restrictions \u2014 a major concern they no longer need to worry about.<\/p>\n
