A Public Benefit Corporation for AI Safety
EquiStamp is a Public Benefit Corporation. That means our legal obligation is to advance AI safety research, not maximize profit. When there's a choice between what's best for alignment and what's best for the bottom line, we're required to choose alignment.
It's a formal commitment to what we'd be doing anyway. We're here because we think AI safety matters, and the PBC structure ensures that stays true even as the company grows.
Our public benefit commitment: To advance AI safety and alignment by providing essential operational and technical support that allows researchers to focus on high-impact work. We deliver evaluation implementation, data annotation, red/blue teaming, project operations, flexible research labor, and financing solutions, all while pursuing sustainable profitability. This commitment ensures our services contribute to mitigating AI risks, promoting transparent and accountable development, and enhancing global well-being through safer technologies.
End-to-End Research Operations
We provide the full operational stack for AI safety research — from eval implementation to administrative overhead. Our services free researchers to focus on the ideas that matter.
Evaluation Implementation
We build and run evaluations, baselines, and benchmarks. Working primarily with Inspect and similar frameworks, we handle the technical implementation of eval protocols.
Data Annotation
Quality data labeling and annotation pipelines for research projects. We manage annotation teams and ensure consistent, reliable data.
Red / Blue Teaming
Adversarial testing and stress-testing for AI systems. Red team finds vulnerabilities and edge cases; blue team defends and improves robustness.
Project Operations
Administrative and organizational support for research projects, grant administration, hiring logistics, and operational overhead.
Research Support
General technical labor pool for AI safety research. Task-based work on a flexible schedule — take what you need, when you need it.
Financing
Flexible payment terms and help with grant writing and fundraising so your research doesn't stall on budgets.
A Labor Pool Built for Alignment
Labs and projects come to us to implement evals, run baselines, annotate data, and handle administrative overhead. The idea is simple: researchers focus on research, and we handle the grunt work.
Task-Based Model
Contributors, a core group of regulars plus a broader pool of specialists, pick up tasks as they're available on their own schedule. Work as much or as little as needed, as long as tasks get done.
Mission-Aligned Talent
Everyone involved is here because they think alignment matters. People actually care whether projects work, not just whether they get done. It's not about hitting milestones or collecting invoices.
Proactive Communication
If something needs fixing or a better approach becomes obvious halfway through, we will say so. We're a partner in the research, not just a contractor.
