The Ecosystem
Not just space. Infrastructure.
CoLab Haus is connected to Filtrous and ABDA Labs — creating a vertically integrated ecosystem that no standalone incubator can match.
CoLab Haus is connected to Filtrous and ABDA Labs — creating a vertically integrated ecosystem that no standalone incubator can match.
Clinical diagnostics company. PCR panels, extraction kits, laboratory consumables. Sales team reaching hundreds of labs nationwide.
Biotools incubator. Early-stage companies building novel lab tools, reagents, instruments, and consumables.
CLIA-certified reference laboratory. Clinical testing services, sample processing, and validation support.
Most incubator graduates spend 12–18 months figuring out distribution after they build a product. At CoLab Haus, the distribution channel is already built and waiting.
Filtrous is an established lab supply company with sales teams reaching hundreds of laboratories nationwide. Your product gets shelf space, sales reps, and a customer base from day one.
Filtrous has first right of refusal on distributing products developed at CoLab Haus. Terms are negotiated individually and designed to be founder-friendly. If terms don't work for both sides, you're free to pursue other channels.
Develop your reagent, kit, instrument, or consumable using our shared equipment and discounted supplies.
Sales teams take your product to hundreds of labs nationwide through established distribution infrastructure.
Focus on R&D and innovation. Revenue flows back. Scale when you're ready.
Residents receive special inventory pricing at 50% off all laboratory supplies and consumables, fulfilled directly by Filtrous. For a bootstrapped startup burning through consumables, this alone can save thousands per year.
Everything you need to run your lab, at half the price. Stock management handled for you — just focus on your science.

ABDA Labs operates a CLIA-certified reference laboratory in the same building. When you run out of capacity or need sample processing support, ABDA can process samples on your behalf — same building, same day.
Analytical testing, method development, and technical support — on demand. This is overflow capacity you'd never get at a traditional incubator.
CoLab Ventures (a separate for-profit entity) offers optional investment capital to residents. This is not a requirement for residency.
