From dormant codebases to lasting value

Labelbox offers a solution for founders of defunct startups to monetize their legacy codebases by providing a simple, secure, and founder-friendly transaction process that involves no ongoing maintenance or support burdens. Unlike open-source projects, these startup codebases are valuable because they capture real-world complexities, tradeoffs, and constraints, reflecting the evolution of software under operational pressures and user demands. Labelbox utilizes these comprehensive codebases to train and evaluate advanced AI systems by exposing them to realistic software environments, thereby providing AI with the complexity and structure it needs to learn effectively. This approach allows founders to convert dormant intellectual property into tangible value without incurring reputational risks or public exposure, as the entire process is conducted within secure, controlled environments with clear usage limitations.
