Programs
We build communities and capabilities that help us to launch and manage time-bound, thesis-driven funds. Communities help us to identify potential fund leaders and partners while capabilities help us to develop and implement compelling theses.
Capabilities
Big if True Science (BiTS) Accelerator
What if you could catalyze the best 10-15 groups, labs, or companies to work together to solve a problem? BiTS empowers scientists and technologists to turn their bold, world-changing ideas into actionable programs. It teaches them how to design and lead coordinated research programs that are not a good fit for traditional funding models, and helps place them at ARPA-type organizations or pursue aligned funding opportunities to implement their programs.
Translational capabilities
Structured frameworks to help convert science and research into real-world products and solutions.
Horizon Scanning
Convening top researchers across domains to identify emerging high-value research areas.
Technical Talent Hubs
Pooling specialized engineering talent which can be directed toward well-defined, high-priority projects.
Communities
ARPA PMs
Over 200 current and former PMs from organizations like DARPA, ARIA, ARPA-H, ARPA-E, IARPA, and others.
Policy Entrepreneurs Network (PEN)
A community of learning and practice of 170+ policy entrepreneurs with experience working across branches of government.
Learning Engineering Network
3,000+ learning science researchers, technologists, startup founders, and funders, interested in how to harness the rapid advances in learning sciences and computer science to support students.
Philanthropic Fund Ecosystem
A growing community of philanthropic fund leaders.
