Network-Powered Incubator

Where AI meets industry

We incubate specialized AI ventures by combining domain mastery, technical excellence, and operational playbooks. Our network turns expertise into equity.

Vertical agents are the next wave

General AI models were the starting gun. The next trillion-dollar opportunity will come from verticalized agents—deeply integrated systems that understand a specific industry's language, workflows, and incentives. Bethesda Labs exists to incubate those.

Vertical First

Each project starts from domain insight, not model capability. We identify where applied agents create insurmountable advantages.

Network Advantage

Our founders, investors, and advisors come from Anthropic, Notion, OpenAI, Shopify, and McKinsey. Quality over volume.

Compound Infrastructure

Shared stack for compliance, ops, design, and go-to-market reduces time to launch and compounds across ventures.

Expertise becomes equity
