Powering

A Future

That Works For Us

Let’s shape the future⁠
not be shaped by it.

We have more power to make the world better, at scale, than at any time in human history. As new technologies transform society⁠—with huge platform shifts underway in AI, quantum computing, bioengineering, fusion, batteries, and more⁠—we must use this power well.

Telescope builds and backs products that ensure emerging technology makes us all more secure and prosperous. We aim to amplify the benefits of these advancements while minimizing risks and harms to the most vulnerable populations of our society.

We are not too late to harness this new wave of invention for
the better.

Combining both charitable and commercial capital, Telescope is a different kind of enterprise. We are developing financial instruments to advance tech invention while also mitigating potential harms and risks, investing in exceptional talent and visionary ideas to shape both products and policy responsibly, and cultivating vibrant networks in STEM to create opportunity for more people and institutions who share our passion to drive progress in a way that makes the world better.

Our team has a record of extraordinary, quantifiable impact across sectors. We are putting that experience to work in service of society.

We work in three ways to build networks that harness technology for the better and make society more safe, secure, and prosperous.
