# Beacons.ai

[beacons.ai](https://beacons.ai) · DVC portfolio company

## Why we backed Beacons.ai

The founders of Beacons.ai bet that creators needed one real operating system for their business, not a drawer full of disconnected tools. That bet landed at an inflection point, when creators started running themselves like companies and demanded software that kept up. We look for teams whose technical depth makes the product hard to copy, and this team has that in full. We were lucky to meet them.

_— Nick Davidov and Marina Davidova, DVC_
