# 5D Labs

> 5D Labs is an OpenClaw-first, crypto-first, AI-first startup studio. We build and validate multiple ventures in parallel using autonomous AI agents — transcending the traditional startup model where you bet everything on one idea.

## What We Are

5D Labs is a startup studio that leverages OpenClaw (our open-source agent orchestration platform) to run multiple ventures simultaneously. By deploying 13 specialized AI agents across development, trading, and operations, we find product-market fit faster and cheaper than traditional startups.

## Our Thesis

Traditional startups burn runway trying to find product-market fit with a single idea. We take a different approach:

1. **Parallel Validation** - Run multiple ventures simultaneously using AI agents
2. **Faster Product-Market Fit** - Validate or kill ideas in weeks, not quarters
3. **AI-Native Infrastructure** - Every venture is built by autonomous agents from day one
4. **OpenClaw Foundation** - Our agent orchestration layer powers everything
