About
Portal Innovations is a venture development platform that pairs seed capital with fully-equipped lab and office space, so members get funding and a bench at the same time rather than signing a conventional lease. Its Chicago flagship, Fulton Labs at 400 N Aberdeen St, spans 60,000+ sq ft with 100+ lab benches, 120+ desks, BSL-2 labs, tissue culture hoods and chemical fume hoods, backed by $6M+ of shared equipment (network-wide, ~$12M across ~110,000 sq ft in five sites). Portal targets covering 80%+ of a typical member company's equipment needs, plus in-house scientific, data and commercialization support and investor introductions — though a January 2026 lawsuit against JV partner Beacon Capital over funding shortfalls is worth diligencing.

11000 Cedar Startup Incubator (Case Western Reserve University)
US11000 Cedar is Case Western Reserve University's four-story, 80,000 sq ft startup incubator directly across from CWRU's main campus in Cleveland's Innovation District, with roughly 30,000 sq ft of wet lab space plus dry labs and offices. Licensing scales from a single 8-foot shared bench up to large private labs, so pre-seed founders and funded startups can sit in the same building as 30+ other health-tech ventures. Its differentiator is proximity: members get significantly discounted access to CWRU core facilities, faculty expertise and student talent, with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and the Cleveland VA all within a mile.
ABI-LAB
USABI-LAB is a privately held, four-building bio-incubator and accelerator campus in Natick, MA (~137,000 rentable SF) offering move-in-ready private lab suites and office space to early-stage and scaling life science companies. Its differentiator is a free shared Innovation Lab stocked with 24+ advanced instruments (SeqStudio, Attune NxT/CytPix, EVOS M7000, QuantStudio 6 Pro, Luminex 200, KingFisher Flex and more), plus three on-site Thermo Fisher supply centers with direct billing, so founders can "move in today, start your science tomorrow." Suites are delivered on a gross lease with utilities, DI water, CO2/gas, lab wastewater removal, backup generators and BSL-1/BSL-2 capable HVAC included.
ACC Bioscience Incubator
USThe ACC Bioscience Incubator (ABI) is Austin Community College's ~9,500 sq ft wet lab incubator on the Highland Campus (the former Highland Mall), billed as Austin's only dedicated bioscience startup incubator. Founders lease benches in one of four shared labs — or one of two exclusively-leased 400 sq ft ISO 8 cleanrooms with gowning rooms and piped gas — and get access to roughly $1.6M in shared instrumentation including an Illumina MiSeq, AKTA Pure FPLC, Beckman Optima ultracentrifuge, BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer and QuantStudio 3 qPCR. It's non-dilutive (companies keep 100% of IP and equity) and plugs startups into ACC's technical student workforce, three miles from the UT Austin campus.
