Strategic & Technical AI Support
Mainsail AI Labs
Powering AI Innovation & Productivity
AI is moving fast and most software companies don’t have the resources or time to keep up. But falling behind opens yourself up to the growing risk of disruption.
That’s why we launched Mainsail AI Labs: a dedicated team built to help our portfolio companies move faster, build smarter and scale AI across their organizations. We provide hands-on technical support, strategic direction, and a shared space for leaders to learn what’s working (and what’s not) as they navigate AI together.
We’re proud to support our portfolio companies as they strive to lead their market, not catch up to it.
Here are some examples of how they’re applying AI to reshape the landscape for vertical software.
