A home for Rebels

This isn’t a co-living space. It’s a launchpad for revolution.
Not WeWork for wetware. Not startup theater with kombucha on tap.
This is for the founders who’d rather pipette than pitch deck.
For the ones who synthesize before they ask permission.
For the freaks, the hackers, the PhD dropouts, the artists in lab coats.

Values

  • Get Sh*t Done

    You’re here for 4 months to build and create in the lab. No excuses. You’ll be part of a community with some of the most talented folks in the entire world laser-focused on making a dent in changing the way biotech is done.

  • Community First

    Surrounded by some of your new best friends, you’ll have access to brilliant minds, community dinners, constant events to expand your network and put you in touch with exactly who you need to talk to in order to make your company succeed.

  • Work Hard, Play Hard

    This is for the oddballs—big questions, strange projects, and future bets no one’s touching. It’s unstructured and unfiltered: basement biohacks, hot takes, and zero rules. The future’s messy—jump in.

What We OffeR

🧪 Full access to Frontier Tower’s community lab for nights spent engineering yeast, algae, or whatever new lifeform is whispering to you.

🧠 Biopunk workshops on CRISPR, synbio, and building your own CRO from a bedroom desk.

🔥 Weekly founder salons. Not networking. Scheming.

💡 Resident advisor network: biohackers, venture anarchists, pirate funders.

💻 1Gbps fiber. No excuses.

We don’t care about your resume.
We care what you're building.
A drug that slows aging? An organism that digests microplastics? A mind-altering mycelium beverage?
Good. Let’s get weird.

Rent includes access to the lab, community, events, and the kind of radical interdependence you can’t put on a balance sheet.
