Lab Launch: Becoming a For-profit to Achieve Non-profit Goals
Summary
Lab Launch began as a non-profit organization with a goal to provide lab space to startup biotech companies in the Los Angeles area. This is the story of how we went from a promising start, to almost going under, to reemerging as a for-profit company in position to achieve our original non-profit goal many times over. We learned valuable lessons along the way, including the importance of discerning when to be opportunistic and when to stick to a single path.
