Their strategy involves leveraging advancements in data, computation, and engineering to drive innovation in intelligent software, computing infrastructure, and the physical economy. The firm primarily invests in seed and Series A funding rounds, often leading or co-leading rounds and taking board seats. They provide sustained follow-on capital and offer specialized guidance, team building, recruiting, and scientific advisory support. Innovation Endeavors III, a 2018 vintage fund, has a size of $334 million, with the firm managing a total of $630 million across its funds.

They invest in companies based in the United States and Israel, targeting sectors such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, climate technology, fintech, logistics, agriculture, supply chain, life sciences, cities, transportation, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. They are not interested in consumer-only apps, lifestyle businesses, or teams lacking deep technical expertise, nor ideas that do not leverage the convergence of sensing, computation, and physical engineering.
