Startup Lab

STARTUP LAB

Your Membership
to the Factory

Startup Lab is Blacxird's tiered membership to the floor — the layer between "just visiting" and running your build out of here full-time. Start at a hotdesk, move up to the factory floor, or claim a dedicated team pod. No lock-ins, upgrade whenever your build demands it.

WHAT YOU GET

Everything But the
Capital Expenditure

We are not a coworking space with a 3D printer. We are a factory that happens to have desks — plus incubation, education, and community.

01

Build / Test / Iterate / Plan / Prototype

End-to-end product development infrastructure. From whiteboard to welded chassis. From Figma to fabricated enclosure. Your full build loop, under one roof.

02

Explore Your Hobby

Not every visit needs a deliverable. Come weld on weekends. Learn resin casting. Fix your motorcycle. The floor is as much for curiosity as commerce.

03

Escape the CAPEX Trap

Turn fixed costs into variable ones. No depreciation. No maintenance headaches. No warehouse lease. Just pay for the access you need, when you need it.

Network & Peer Support

Your neighbor at the CNC might be an industrial designer. The person at the hotdesk could be your next co-founder. Expert office hours included.

End-to-End Incubation

We don't just give you tools — we help you build the company around them. From MVP to first customer to seed pitch. Full-stack startup support.

THE FLOOR PLAN

Segmented Zones.
PPE-Mandated Pods.

The factory floor is vinyl-stickered, color-coded, and safety-first. Every zone has its own protocols, tooling, and vibe.

WHO IS THIS FOR

If You Build,
You Belong Here

Designed for the intersection of hardware, software, art, and commerce — from Chennai to South Asia.

📡

IoT Makers

Sensor prototyping, PCB assembly, firmware testing, and enclosure design.

🧬

Deeptech Software

Hardware-in-the-loop testing, edge AI deployment, and physical interfaces.

🤖

Robotics

CAD to chassis fabrication. Build, break, and rebuild mechanical systems.

🏗️

Architects

Physical models, acrylic cutting, 3D printed maquettes, material exploration.

🎨

Artists & Fashion

Sculpture fab, textile experiments, mold making, mixed-media installations.

📑

Industrial Designers

Form studies, ergonomic prototyping, CMF exploration, and user testing rigs.

🌱

Renewable Energy

Solar rig prototyping, battery pack assembly, turbine model testing.

📦

Retail Manufacturing

Packaging prototypes, product mockups, spray finishing, small-batch runs.

🤝

Startup Networks

Manufacturing founders seeking peers, suppliers, and early customers.

🚀

Incubation Candidates

Pre-PMF teams that need to ship physical MVPs before raising their first round.

THE BUSINESS MODEL

Membership First.
No Equity for Just Building.

Startup Lab runs on straightforward, recurring membership revenue — not on taking a piece of what you build.

01

Tiered Memberships

Hotdesk, Factory Floor, and Team Pod are monthly, no-lock-in plans. This is the core, predictable revenue line — you pay for the access you use.

02

Pay-as-You-Fabricate

Materials, consumables, and specialised machine time beyond fair-use are billed at cost or a small markup — you're never subsidising someone else's build.

03

Optional Incubation Track

If you opt into full incubation support — mentorship, investor intros, go-to-market help — that's a separate, clearly-scoped agreement, kept apart from your Startup Lab membership.

RULES & ACCESS

How It Works

01

Application & screening required before access

Every member is evaluated on project scope, machine usage and safety risk.

02

Mandatory safety induction before first session

Covers machine hazards, PPE usage and workshop protocols.

03

Session-based access system

Bookings are divided into fixed time slots (morning / afternoon / evening).

04

Machine access is tiered and controlled

Advanced equipment requires authorization and supervision.

05

Members are responsible for workspace discipline

Clean area, return tools and log machine usage after every session.

06

Material usage must be declared in advance

Restricted materials are not allowed inside the workshop.
