HappiLabs was born (legally) in July of 2012 in Chicago. We started as a bootstrapped company with no funding, only ideas and a passion to help scientists. We are very thankful to all the family & friends, scientists, entrepreneurs, finance managers, engineers, and investors who have hired or supported us over the years.

HEADS UP TO OUR CUSTOMERS—SCIENTISTS, ACCOUNTANTS, AND LAB OPS FOLKS—On July 22, we will have a celebration and therefore our operations will slow down for the 2nd half of the day as we spend time together, play games, share memories, and drink champagne. We’ll have a skeleton crew of people available to help with urgent situations, but otherwise do not expect responsiveness on the afternoon of Friday July 22. You can follow along on Twitter at @HappiLabs_org.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS over 10 years

HappiLabs has served over 100 labs, 1000’s of scientists, and managed greater than $200,000,000 in lab spend. We are currently at 22 employees (8 PhDs, 8 former students or staff of the University of Illinois, 7 parents, and many cat owners). One 9-year government contract, a mini distribution warehouse, and a task force to track down PPE for our scientists during the start of the pandemic.

Our Virtual Lab Managers have helped create lab grown milk, meat, and eggs; therapeutics for cancer, diabetes, and aging (and more); the Only Single-cell Multi-omics Platform; and a non-viral technology to rapidly deliver nucleic acids, proteins and gene-editing complexes to immune cells.

The offices evolved from a living room to a coffee shop onto 1871 and Matter, and into the University of Illinois’ Innovation Incubator. Now we’re 50% working from home across 7 states.

Thank you

to the “microjobbers” who helped us get started in the early years
to the Virtual Lab Managers who have worked hard serving scientists
to some of our biggest “sales” people who spread the word and limited our marketing budget…Ethan Perlstein, Arthur Salmon, Catherine Sarti, Max Hodak, and the YCombinator network
to Raudel and Rachel.

10 years. Amazing years focused on a mission:
