No posts yet.
Application and Timing
No public incubator application deadline or formal cohort cycle was found in reviewed pages. The incubator appears to engage on an ongoing basis.
Participants
Researchers, entrepreneurs, startups, life-sciences innovators, early-stage biotech companies, and student entrepreneurs. The incubator is sector-specific to biotech, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals rather than general entrepreneurship.
Funding and Equity
AMPS is supported by $625,000 from Empire State Development's NYSTAR program. The incubator provides lab access, mentorship, and capital-formation navigation rather than direct cash grants to tenants. Equity and rental terms are not publicly stated in reviewed materials.
Recent Activity
AMPS pages were updated in 2026. ACPHS continued to reference the incubator in corporate-partnership and CBET materials, indicating the program is active rather than dormant. The LSIB expansion (One Biosciences, April 2026) reinforces the surrounding ecosystem.
Known Startups or Winners
Toby (diagnostic startup) applied and moved team members to Albany. AlbaNYlabs LLC was identified as an expected tenant/participant.
