# 5D Labs

> 5D Labs is an AI-native venture studio powered by an internal operating stack. CTO is the build engine, the internal trading engine helps finance experimentation and sharpen market intelligence, and OpenClaw orchestrates the system underneath.

5D Labs uses OpenClaw, our open-source agent orchestration platform, to coordinate specialized AI agents across development, operations, and venture execution. The stack exists to help us discover, finance, validate, and ship new ventures with more speed and better economics than a traditional startup model. Founded by Jonathon Fritz — 15+ years shipping production systems across AI, blockchain, and infrastructure.
