There are a places you can rent a wet lab biology bench for <$1K/month in both Boston and SF. You still need to buy equipment and materials but you'll have lab infrastructure/permitting OK. If you just need to do really bare bones basic molecular biology (no major equip needs) I think you can get off the ground for $50-100K per year for lab/materials. Once you get any real traction will get more expensive.

- dekhn 13y agolabor costs are going to swamp this unless you're assuming volunteer/low cost. And in that case, it's hard to get a good throughput because people are... well, volunteering and that rarely works out well.
- jrkelly 13y agoyeah, founder salaries would be on top of that - I was just talking about lab/materials. Fortunately if you are coming out of PhD program you're used to working for low cost.
