How Biolabshare Is Building Affordable Biotech Labs for Startups | Jeff "Fuzzy" with Anton Dormer

Biotech is booming, but affordable lab space is nearly impossible to access.
In this episode of Invst Guru, host Jeff “fuzzy” Wenzel sits down with Dr. Anton Dormer, founder of Biolabshare, to explore how he’s building an innovative biotech incubator that gives early-stage life science founders access to wet labs, equipment, mentorship, community, and a pathway to scale.

Anton shares how his journey in medicine, biotechnology, and entrepreneurship led him to identify a major gap: the lack of affordable, high-quality lab space for startups especially in underserved regions. His solution is Biolabshare, a ground-up development in Huntsville, Alabama, designed to support biotech, life sciences, health technology, diagnostics, AI in healthcare, and more.
