What you get

The unfair advantage in AI safety investing.

Every founder in the Accelerator is vetted against the top 10 AI safety threat landscape by experts who built the standards themselves.

Demo-day access

Get first look at AI safety founders presenting live, before they open to the wider investor market. Earlier look, better terms.

Warm introductions

Direct intros to the founders our experts back, not cold inbound. We only make introductions we'd stake our own reputation on.

Expert-led due diligence

Our network includes AI safety researchers from Yale, IEEE, Bristol Robotics Lab, UT Austin, and Sorbonne. Ask the hard technical questions with people who can answer them.

A category still early

AI safety infrastructure, tooling, and governance startups are 3 to 5 years behind the AI capability wave. The window to take early positions is open now.

Regulatory tailwinds

The EU AI Act binds on 2 August 2026. Every high-risk AI system needs compliance infrastructure. Regulation is a forcing function for the companies you'll meet here.

Summit policy track

Attend the AI Safety Summit and the policy track. Understand the regulatory and geopolitical forces shaping what will become the most scrutinised industry on earth.

The expert network

Invest alongside the people who set the standards.

Better Societies works with the researchers who wrote the IEEE ethics frameworks, the academics who advise global governments on AI risk, and the founders who have shipped AI safety products. These are the people vetting the deal flow you access.
