Investment thesis
Camp is Betaworks' cohort-based investment and product development program, running twice annually since 2016, that focuses on specific technology modalities and themes. Each 12-week in-residence session helps early-stage companies with product development, platform strategy, data science, branding, and fundraising, giving founders access to the Betaworks team, its network, and curated industry leaders. Themes are chosen around frontier technologies; the Fall 2025 theme, Interfaces, seeks early-stage startups rethinking the human-machine boundary through new interface paradigms such as voice-native tools, ambient agents, multi-modal or invisible interfaces, and prompt-based interactions.
