The Lab SyncVentureStudio
New ideas become independent companies with their own teams and focus, but they never start from zero.
Innovationis astructuralchallenge.
Most lab automation companies start with strong innovation cultures and lose them as they scale. That isn’t a failure of people; it’s a structural challenge.
So, Lab Sync is innovating on the business model, not just the technology.
Startup focus.Shared resources.
Each new idea is spun out as its own company, with a core team focused on development, product, and delivery.

- Product
- Delivery
- Finance
- HR
- Field engineering

Only when and as much as it needs them.
The team gets startup focus and autonomy without building back-office functions from scratch.
Built to keepdelivering.
When you choose a lab automation partner, you’re not just buying today’s product. You’re betting on that partner’s capacity to keep delivering as your needs change.
The Venture Studio is built to keep innovating, with a backer that grows sustainably instead of burning through funding.

First out of the studio
Two veterans of automated imaging got tired of waiting for an imaging system designed for automation, so they’re building it. OnDeck Devices makes research-grade imaging built to run as a workcell device for labs scaling live-cell biology.
It’s the first independent company out of the Lab Sync Venture Studio: its own team, its own brand, and the studio’s resources behind it. Proof the model works.
