From ideas to successful companies

关于我们

Bill Gross started Idealab in 1996 to create and operate pioneering technology companies. The structure of Idealab has allowed us to test many ideas at once and turn the best of them into companies, attracting the human and financial capital necessary to bring them to market. Many of these companies were among the first to introduce new business ideas to the market. CitySearch, now a part of IAC, established the category of local online community directories. eToys demonstrated the tremendous potential for online consumer retail and became one of the most recognized brands during the early days of e-commerce. Overture Services, which began life as GoTo.com, was the first company to introduce the concept of paid search — the business model that powers the multibillion-dollar online search market. Idealab continues to explore a range of technology frontiers. New models for improving the search experience are at the core of several companies currently growing inside of Idealab. Moving beyond the Internet, we have spawned companies with breakthrough technologies in robotics, renewable energy and automotive design and production among others. Idealab also continues to partner with leading venture capital firms and other strategic investors to provide the resources to maximize the potential of these companies. In addition to capital, Idealab provides a full range of resources to infuse start-ups with the support they need to rapidly introduce innovative products and services. Resources include office space and the accompanying office services, development and technology, product and graphic design, marketing, financial advice, human resources, competitive research, legal, accounting and business development support and services. In addition, Idealab provides advice on strategy, branding and corporate structure.

    An engineer director we recently spoke with faced a familiar challenge: maintaining consistent quality standards across multiple production lines and facilities. Each plant had its own way of managing inspections, and when issues arose, engineers often had to travel on-site just to troubleshoot. It was time-consuming, costly, and frustrating. That all changed when they implemented remote visibility and management for their vision inspection systems. Suddenly, they could: ? Standardize quality across facilities – No more guesswork. AI models and defect criteria were centrally managed, ensuring every plant operated with the same high standards. ? Seamlessly integrate with IT/OT systems – Inspection data flowed directly into their MES, SCADA, and BI tools, giving leadership a unified and real-time view of production quality. ? Reduce travel & increase efficiency – Engineers no longer had to fly out just to tweak settings. They could troubleshoot remotely, allowing them to focus on continuous improvement rather than firefighting. ? Scale effortlessly for the future – New inspection stations were brought online in days, not weeks, supporting the company’s smart manufacturing initiatives. ?? But what about security? ?? With industrial networks becoming more connected, cybersecurity was a top concern. The solution? A multi-layered security approach designed for IT/OT environments: ?? Zero Trust Architecture – Every access attempt was verified, whether internal or external. ?? Network Segmentation – OT systems were isolated from broader enterprise networks to prevent lateral movement. ?? End-to-End Encryption – Secure data flows ensured that inspection data remained protected. ? Compliance & Certification – Aligned with SOC 2 Type II, CSA STAR Level 1, OWASP, and CIS Benchmarks security standards. ? Automated Security Monitoring – Vulnerability scanning and anomaly detection proactively identified threats. ?? Data Access Controls – Role-based access (RBAC) and least privilege (PoLP) ensured only the right people could access critical systems. The impact? Fewer defects, higher yield, and a more efficient team—without compromising security. Manufacturers no longer have to choose between efficiency and security—both are possible. How are you approaching this shift in your operations?

    Seeking #FinOps practitioner perspective on a unique cloud cost optimization idea. #SITUATION: Imagine having an underutilized Reserved Instance (m5.4xlarge) and at the same time On-Demand usage (c5.4xlarge) is occurring. #IDEA: Since these instance types are compatible and interchangeable, would you see value in automation that can shift workloads from c5 to m5 to leverage the RI investment and savings? Please share your thoughts in DM. What do you think? What concerns or challenges do you see with this approach? Thank you for your support!
