Mainsail’s AI Launch Labs just wrapped. Here’s what 2+ months of focused AI training, building, and collaboration looks like.
We brought together 70+ engineers and product managers from across the Mainsail portfolio for virtual instruction followed by an intensive, two-week in-person AI build program—sunrise to sundown.
20+ agents were built from scratch in 10 days.
The goal was not only to ship real products but shift our teams from building features by hand to fully agentic development. Learning side-by-side to use today’s tooling to its fullest and leaving with a fundamentally different idea of what’s possible and how to get there.
The results spoke for themselves before anyone got on a plane home.
→ “In a short period of time, you managed to both elevate our understanding of AI and drive the teams to produce tangible, measurable results.”
→ “There were so many use cases shared across the portfolio. I can’t wait to get back to my team and teach them what I learned.”
→ “This was one of the most well-designed and effective sprint events we’ve participated in.”
→ “This was a career defining opportunity for me.”
Across vertical markets, teams tackled the problems software founders and their customers know too well — repetitive manual work, reporting bottlenecks, compliance burdens, onboarding volume, reactive workflows. Building toward production-ready products with a clear path to launch.
It’s an example of what’s possible when ambitious founders don’t have to navigate the AI technology shift and opportunity on their own.
Thank you to all our portfolio companies and teams for dedicating your time, pushing each other’s limits, and celebrating the wins together. And thank you to the Mainsail AI Labs team for leading this charge!
