Betalab

Focused on privacy tech and early stage startups aiming to Fix the Internet.

Betalab was an early-stage cohort-based investment program combined with a year-long series of workshops and events at Betaworks — with the singular goal of catalyzing startup activity around Fixing The Internet.

Five focus areas:

Software that builds trustworthiness into AI, protecting, detecting, or authenticating synthetic media or data
Platforms and tools that address the negative outcomes (abuse, spam, disinformation, etc.) that plague existing social networks
Better products for people to manage their personal data and privacy
New tools, platforms, and business models that foster a more sustainable news ecosystem and a better informed citizenry
Identity and authentication tools

Betalab was a partnership with Lupa Systems.
