Collision 2015 - Scot Chisholm, Scott Harrison, Bryan Johnson & Dominic Rushe
summary
A $100 million OS Fund backs startups in AI, genomics, synthetic biology and space aiming for “quantum-leap” impact; investment targets include projects to extend healthy life and redesign medicine. A charity uses a 100% model where 100 patrons cover overhead, posts GPS and photos of every water point, and even has drilling rigs that tweet locations. Field teams deploy remote sensors in wells (16,000 wells tracked, 5.2M people served if all work) with a 4,000-site scale target this year; recent relief raised $671,000 from 7,000 donors.
