Public description

About the program

JLABS is Johnson & Johnson Innovation's life science incubator and accelerator network, described by the company as no-strings-attached: resident companies get lab and office space, equipment, education and access to the J&J ecosystem without giving up equity or IP rights. US sites include San Diego, South San Francisco, New York City and Cambridge/Boston, with additional locations in Shanghai and EMEA. Residency is rolling rather than cohort-based.
