Altitude Lab is a nonprofit life science accelerator founded by Recursion that houses resident startups inside the BioHive hub on Recursion's Salt Lake City campus at The Gateway. Residents get shared and private wet lab space (BSL-1/BSL-2 molecular and cell biology labs stocked with roughly $1M of equipment) plus co-working offices, on a published membership rate card — $2,250/month for a lab bench, $300–350/month for desks. Unlike a pure landlord, admission is cohort-based into a two-year milestone-driven program with pre-seed capital of $100K–$250K, an $80K fellowship stipend, and a target of getting founders to a seed round by month 18.

BTNB (Bio, Tech and Beyond) is a North San Diego County life science incubator offering one of the cheapest entry points into professional wet lab space: $1,500/month for a dedicated 10-foot BSL-2 bench that includes a desk, -20C/-80C freezer space, DI water, liquid nitrogen and access to roughly 30 shared instruments. Founded in 2013 as a City of Carlsbad-backed incubator, it bought its own 7,000 sq ft building at 6076 Corte Del Cedro in 2019 and houses a community of ~20 resident startups. Notably, BTNB explicitly takes no rights to residents' research results, and part-time bench access can be arranged.

Bakar Bio Labs is UC Berkeley's flagship life-science incubator, operated with QB3 inside the 40,000+ sq ft renovated Woo Hon Fai Hall (the former Berkeley Art Museum), housing up to ~50 startup teams. It is unusual among top-tier incubators in publishing its rates openly — $1,600/month for a 6-ft BSL-2 bench, $600/month per office workstation, plus a $100/person/month membership — and lets companies start with a single bench and scale up. Tenancy is not limited to Berkeley spinouts, but admission is competitive: applicants pitch a selection committee, and accepted teams get campus core-facility access, an extensive shared instrument park, mentoring programs and investor showcases.
