Founded by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Innovation Endeavors invests exclusively at the intersection of three converging technical forces they call "the Super Evolution" — ubiquitous sensors, advanced machine learning and cloud systems, and robotics/3D printing/CRISPR — rather than general software or internet businesses. The firm runs an invite-only unconference called Curiosity Camp where physicists, rocket scientists, and computational biologists camp together in the Santa Cruz Mountains to explore frontier problems, and operates a venture creation program that helps form founding teams before ideas exist rather than backing pre-packaged startups.
