WHAT WE DO
We improve people’s lives and promote healthy human development through high-quality science
At LAB+ Company Builder, we raise private capital to invest in innovative scientific ideas and established start-ups in the life sciences sector that develop impactful solutions to address issues related to human, animal and environmental health.
– International calls for scientists with disruptive ideas.
– High-quality science: Our team works closely with candidates to validate their research.
-Comprehensive Support: We offer founders strategic, scientific, administrative, financial, and professional assistance from the creation of their company to the consolidation of their start-ups.
In a first round of capitalization that closed in February 2024, LAB+ committed $750,000 in investment for each of its first four start-ups.
– Global Networking: We provide access to a robust international network, connecting entrepreneurs with the academic community, leading industry players, investment funds, and private investors.
– Prestige: Being associated with the Institut Pasteur de Montevideo brings added credibility and recognition to the start-ups.
We contribute to the economic development of Uruguay and the region
LAB+’s unique model is central to advancing a knowledge-based economy by creating value for companies, the country, and the scientific community. It distributes the resulting value to foster high-quality research and cultivate innovation ecosystems where new knowledge is generated.
We amplify the real-world impact of science on people’s lives through the ‘One Health’ concept, which focuses on developing and implementing solutions to problems that link human health with animal and environmental health.
