What we do

CoMotion Labs, part of CoMotion, serves as a multi-industry incubator for early-stage startups in the greater Seattle area, as well as the UW community. By providing essential infrastructure and opportunities for learning, mentoring, and networking, CoMotion Labs nurtures and enables success. Our Labs operate in four incubators: three located on the UW Seattle campus, each concentrating on a specific industry sector (life sciences, hardware, and technology), and one in downtown Seattle that focuses on climate tech.

Our unique advantage

- uwc-accordion-1

Business is all about relationships. At CoMotion Labs, you’ll find resources for your startup when your idea is in the pre-seed stage, and along the journey as you scale up. Here, you’ll find plenty of office space, meeting rooms, and chemistry, biology, and engineering resources, as well as a full complement of tools and equipment necessary for prototyping and development.

Our services set us apart. As part of the University of Washington, you’ll have access to thousands of first-rate minds doing cutting-edge research in hundreds of fields. We’ll plug you into Seattle’s thriving innovation community through our CoMotion Advisory Network and free workshops on everything from customer development to financing.

Since we operate on a sustainability model, instead of a profit model, our rates are affordable, so you can hire more staff. And again, we help startups grow without taking equity.
