Betaworks Camp
Betaworks Camp is a themed, in-residence accelerator that Betaworks runs at its offices in New York's Meatpacking District. Each cohort of 8 to 12 early-stage AI startups works around one theme, such as agents or interfaces. The program lasts 12 weeks, includes investment, and ends with a Demo Day. Participation is free, but founders pay for their own travel and housing.
