  • Jérôme Lutz

    CEO & Visionary Lead

    On the mission to bring the latest tech innovations into the lab to help scientist solve the pressing problems of our time as quickly as possible.

    I will bring my lab building and startup experience, design philosophy, maker skills, tech know-how and industry network into your lab.

  • Alex Bettenhausen

    Tech & Operations

    Passionate about making sure nobody has to do any boring job twice - or even once.

    With the mindset of a Business Analyst and the toolbelt of a Fullstack Developer, I am excited to support the journey of both the Smart Lab Architects and our incredible partners.
    I will bring my lab building and startup experience, design philosophy, maker skills, tech know-how and industry network into your lab.

  • Sabine Emslander

    People & Culture

    Driven by the belief that people are inherently resourceful, kind, brave and daring, and organizations - if equipped with the right vision, team and mindset - can give these people the opportunity to really make a difference.

    I am fascinated by change and I like to be involved with the growth of people, organizations and innovations.
    I will bring my lab building and startup experience, design philosophy, maker skills, tech know-how and industry network into your lab.

  • Henri Becker

    Founder's Associate

    Growing, for me, means taking a step back to see the full picture.

    With a deeply rooted passion for architecture and medicine, combined with my current studies in business, I bring a holistic, first-principles problem-solving approach to the table. My curiosity drives my entrepreneurial journey and development process, constantly challenging the impossible. I bring my network, happiness, building skills, and startup experience to your lab.

  • Paolo Afflitto

    Custom Builds & Makerspace

    Bringing precision craftsmanship skills to innovate and create on all our SLA custom builds.

    Backed by my experience in metal work, I look forward to creative problem solving and hands-on construction.

Our Headquarters

We support Deeptech and Biotech start-ups in their complete lab journey, from finding a lab to getting it operational!*

* SUPER FAST, SUPER EFFICIENT

Our Products and Services

Obviously, we are excited to partner up with you all the way - from finding a suitable location to planning, building and equipping your new lab and getting it operational in record speed.

However, we understand startups and we know you may prefer to scale one step at a time (plus, hiring consultants sometimes sounds a bit out of budget). Just reach out to us and we'll see what we can do for you - be it finding the right contact in our network, sharing some of our data & software tools or helping you plan your growth process.

We got you covered :)
