Necto Labs

Necto Labs functions as an open-source innovation lab and a humanity-centric R&D fund focused on the evolution of Web3 and beyond. The firm actively supports and invests in projects and protocols designed to cultivate a more open, private, and equitable internet. Its technical approach centers on preserving human agency, restoring trust and verifiability within digital systems, and reimaging business models to unlock potential for broader societal benefit.

The company was founded in 2022 by Adam Montgomery and Benjamin Huang. Their establishment of Necto Labs stemmed from a shared insight into the imperative to address the internet’s existing structural issues, particularly concerning social and economic inequality. The founders recognized the need for a dedicated entity to foster solutions that challenge extractive business models and promote a more balanced distribution of digital value and opportunity.

Necto Labs primarily serves early-stage builders and research initiatives within the dWeb and Web3 ecosystems. It provides seed investment and incubator support to innovators developing new web tools and infrastructure. The company’s overarching vision is to collectively understand the full societal implications of emerging technologies, guiding their development toward a future web that is inherently more holistic and centered on humanity's long-term progress.
