Seldon Labs PBC is a San Francisco-based public benefit corporation that functions as the first startup accelerator specifically focused on AGI security technologies. Co-founded in early 2025 by Esben Kran and Finn Metz, the organization operates as both a research lab and a startup accelerator, combining research publication with venture investment in early-stage AI security companies.
Esben Kran previously co-founded Apart Research, an AI safety research organization that produced over 25 publications at major machine learning conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, and ICML. Finn Metz brings experience from private equity and venture capital, having supported funding rounds totaling over $20 million and raised seven figures specifically for AI security research. Together they co-founded the AI Safety Founders community before launching Seldon Lab. The organization's advisors include Nick Fitz of Juniper Ventures and Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange…
Seldon Labs believes that AGI security will become one of the largest industries in history and that for-profit companies can be powerful vehicles for advancing AI safety. Their theory of change is that by identifying, funding, and accelerating the most capable technical founders working on AGI security infrastructure, they can build the critical technological layer that ensures humanity's safety as AGI reshapes the world. Rather than relying solely on research or policy, Seldon bets that commercially viable security products sold to frontier AI companies and governments will create sustainable, scalable safety infrastructure. By combining research publication with startup acceleration, they aim to both advance the field intellectually and translate insights into deployed technology.
