We build AI
that sees what people miss
Beholder Labs is a Polish startup specializing in AI safety for sports facilities. Our flagship product, GripIQ, protects climbers at every station — automatically, in real time.
Where we came from
Beholder Labs was born from one simple observation: climbing accidents caused by human error are 100% preventable — as long as someone (or something) is actually watching.
We're climbers ourselves, so we've seen this problem firsthand — not as an abstract market opportunity, but as something we genuinely care about. Improving safety on the walls is personal to us.
The market scale, growth dynamics of indoor climbing, and the lack of adequate technology solutions created space for a product that would be both operationally effective and accessible to every gym — regardless of size.
That's how GripIQ was born: an AI device that doesn't disrupt daily workflow, requires no changes from the climber, yet does what no employee can — watches every station all the time.
What drives us
Safety First — for real
We don't use the word "safety" as a marketing slogan. Every GripIQ design decision starts with the question: will this protect the climber?
Evidence over intuition
Our AI model is trained on real gym footage, not stock photos. We test on real devices in real gyms.
Partnership, not sales
We start with a 90-day pilot at no upfront cost. If GripIQ doesn't work for your gym, we don't sign a contract — simple as that.
Simplicity is hard
GripIQ requires no QR codes or habit changes. Mobile app available optionally. It's invisible to the climber — and that's the point. Good technology doesn't get in the way.
AI Safety for sports facilities
We build intelligent IoT devices with built-in AI that protect people in physical spaces — without changing their behavior.
- Edge AI hardware (no cloud in the critical path)
- Computer vision trained on real-environment data
- Integrations with sports facility management systems
- Analytics dashboard for owners and insurers
- Risk-free pilots — test first, decide later
