Profile
Betaworks is a start-up platform founded in New York. We build, run accelerators, make investments and we recently opened a new Club for Builders in New York. Since 2008 we have built products from the ground up like Giphy, Dots, bitly, Chartbeat and Tweetdeck. Our core belief is to experiment early and often; the idea that ‘betas work.’ For the last ten years we have invested in early stage start-ups related to areas we are building in. Previous investments include: Tumblr, Kickstarter, Medium and Gimlet. We continue to do so through our $50m fund.
