ELabNYC, Entrepreneurship Lab Bio and
Healthtech NYC, initiated by NYCEDC in
2012 now has 135 venture alumni including
Cresilon, DUST, Yiviva, and Landos Biopharma.
ELabNYC ventures include therapeutics,
diagnostics, devices, research tools, software,
and materials technology breakthroughs.
ELabNYC represents the earliest stage of
Design Technologies life science acceleration
programs: one-half of the ventures who enter
ELabNYC are not yet incorporated, 70% are
affiliated with research institutions. Many
ventures enter the program while working on
a full-time job outside the startup. ELabNYC
ventures have raised over $398M since 2012
from seed funds, grants, angels, international
and government funding sources.
Design Technologies brings specific values in
support of our mission to help build emerging
ventures.
These values include the belief that:
ELABNYC
Entrepreneurship is a learnable set of
information, practices and business
networks.
Engineers, scientists and
MD’s are capable of learning
entrepreneurship.
Customers are the best source of
development feedback and start-up
funding.
Entrepreneurs make excellent
teachers and coaches, community
members and moderators.
Community syndication, the local
collaborative support of emerging
ventures, builds local economy
resiliency and strengthens startups’
stickiness.
Community building requires a ten-
year start-up commitment.
Global strategic planning starts with
the decision to create a venture.
Entrepreneurs are our customers.

SUCCESS TO CELEBRATE

“Both Charlotte and I were hungry to get
our company off the ground, and we are
grateful that ELab gave us the skills to do
so,” recalls Dr. Feinstein, ELabNYC’16.
Yesse Technologies (formerly MouSensor) is a
startup that emerged from a lab at CUNY’s Hunter
College and is now thriving at the seed stage. The
company cofounders are Prof. Paul Feinstein, a
world-renowned expert in the human sense of smell,
and Dr. Charlotte D’Hulst, one of his postdoctoral
students.
“The ELab bootcamp taught us the mechanics of setting
up a company and the skills to write a business plan.
ELab also gave the opportunity to practice what we
had learned and get feedback,” Prof. Paul Feinstein,
Yesse Technologies. Drs. Feinstein and D’Hulst
readily envisioned commercial applications like
explosives detection, but despite their deep scientific
backgrounds, they were not fully prepared for the
demanding, fast-moving world of entrepreneurship.
Yesse benefited from the immersion in ELabNYC,
during which the business was incorporated with Dr.
D’Hulst as CEO and Prof. Feinstein as CSO. After it
graduated from ELab, the company moved into the
SUNY Downstate Biotechnology Incubator, where
NextMilestone provided follow-on mentoring
support.

CASE STUDY

Less than a decade ago, Yesse Technologies
was just an idea. Now it is a business with
clear target markets; full-time employees; and
a partnership that will scale its technology
from living mice to silicon chips. The company
has attracted more than $5.7 million in
funding, including $3.3 million in seed equity
and additional non-dilutive grants, including
from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for
Parkinson's Research. The seed round was
led by the Alexandria Seed Capital Platform
and imec.xpand, and was joined by New
York Ventures (the fund managed by Empire
State Development) and by Dr. Hawkins,
NextMilestone mentor, as an individual seed
investor. Throughout, its smart and persistent
cofounders have had key assists from ELab.
The example of Yesse Technologies, shows
how ELab delivers the following benefits to
companies with great promise that may not
yet be ready for A rounds, and to the life-
science ecosystem as a whole:
The confidence to patent discoveries that might otherwise languish at university TCOs
Business training that is missing from lean startup curricula
Targeted networking that leads to serendipitous opportunities, including for non-dilutive funding
Matchmaking between entrepreneurs and mentors that helps de-risk and advance a venture
Exposure of entrepreneurs to those with the capacity and willingness to invest
