Addressing a recognized gap to enable science-driven startups in MSP

Our science-focused incubator will support early-stage startups, providing the resources and expertise needed to accelerate their growth from lab-to-market

The Team

Our Story

In 2024, an entrepreneur (aka Phil) was seeking lab space to demonstrate feasibility for a chemical innovation and a changemaker (aka Annabelle) was seeking ESO partners that can support companies translating material innovations. 

 

Over lunch on a sunny summer day, Annabelle and Phil decided that they would solve the challenges MSP-based, early-stage entrepreneurs face in accessing lab space, prototyping space, and equipment. Over the next few months, they mapped out what was to become MSP Lab collective that leverages their unique and complementary experiences and expertise. This budding idea became a feasible reality through partnership with Gillette Children's.  

​

Our region currently (2025) faces a significant gap in physical space and resources for entrepreneurs to bring their innovative technologies from lab-to-market. MSP Lab Collective was established in January 2025 with the capability to design and operate a wet-lab incubator that meets early-stage entrepreneurs where they are at and fosters the establishment and growth of technology companies right here in MSP.
