Background
A technologist with deep experience across AI, infrastructure, and distributed systems. The kind of person who builds their own bare-metal Kubernetes clusters for fun.
Before founding 5D Labs, Jonathon spent years at the intersection of software engineering and emerging technology — always pushing the boundary of what autonomous systems can do.
More details coming soon.
Vision
The future of startups isn't a team of 50 people in an office. It's a founder with a vision, backed by autonomous AI agents that can build, test, deploy, and iterate at machine speed.
5D Labs exists to prove that thesis. By building OpenClaw and deploying it across multiple ventures, we're showing that the startup studio model + AI agents = a fundamentally different — and better — way to build companies.
What Drives This
AI-Native Everything
Every process, every workflow, every decision loop should be augmented or fully automated by AI agents.
Own Your Infrastructure
Bare metal over cloud. Self-hosted over SaaS. Sovereignty over convenience — with the tooling to make it painless.
Build in Public
Open source by default. Transparent about what works, what doesn't, and what we're learning along the way.
