Don’t call it co-working
That’s the advice New Lab’s Communications Director Molly Erman gives to anyone visiting Brooklyn’s new anchor in the so-called Tech Triangle. Since opening in June 2016, New Lab could be mistaken for co-working space, albeit on a grand scale. It offers desks and shared space to young companies and small operators. It offers community the way your standard WeWork might.
But the crux of New Lab’s place in the tech vanguard is the rash of growth-stage companies working in the applied sciences that have taken up residence. Companies with names like 10xBeta, Nanotronics (on whose board Peter Thiel sits), Honeybee Robotics, Graph Commons and Light.
Personalizing your morning smoothie, these companies are not. Their work is in AI and bioengineering and 3D printing. They pursue complex global challenges like worker safety and smart cities. They share in common outsized ambitions and the need for workspace that enables design, engineering, construction, agriculture and lab work. You know, the typical startup demands.
This is where they call home for the time being.
