About

Harlem Biospace is New York City's original affordable shared wet-lab incubator, now operating two West Harlem sites: HB Sweets (423 W 127th St), a co-working wet lab where $1,195/month buys a desk plus shared bench, and HB Mink (1361 Amsterdam Ave), a $9M Empire State Development-backed expansion opened in 2024 offering private lab/office modules from $5,000/month for mid- to late-stage startups. Membership is selective — a committee of investors and biotech professionals reviews applicants on commercialization potential, team quality and commitment to staying in NYC — but no equity is taken. Its position among Columbia, CCNY and the Manhattanville campus puts members within reach of nine major academic medical centers.
