    Our $30M early-stage VC fund, Idealabx1, is busily deploying capital. Our fund is the only VC fund globally that has the right to invest in all of Bill Gross's ideas that come out of Idealab Studio, and/or that we incubate at Idealab NY. We are focused on companies that relate to our areas of interest at Idealab Studio and at Idealab NY, and loosely fall into the areas of: manufacturing, media, food, and education - and we especially love companies in those areas that have a social innovation aspect to their business. We invest across the U.S., wherever great entrepreneurs are starting companies.

    At Idealab, I work on a number of things, ranging from various projects as a member of the Board of Directors, to managing the New Ventures Group, which is an "incubator within an incubator" that we started in October 2010. Historically, most Idealab-incubated companies have been the "brainchildren" of Bill Gross, the founder and CEO of Idealab. While we'll continue to found companies that way, we have also started to invest in early-stage startups that are founded by other entrepreneurs, many of which will be housed at Idealab until they're ready to move into their own space.
