Schmidt Entities (umbrella for Hillspire / Schmidt Futures / Schmidt Ocean Institute etc.)

Schmidt Entities is the umbrella for a group of organisations associated with Eric and Wendy Schmidt, including Hillspire, Schmidt Futures and the Schmidt Ocean Institute. Hillspire, the integrated family office at the centre of the group, manages day-to-day operations across the Schmidts' business, philanthropic and personal endeavours: for-profit investments, nonprofit foundations and strategic initiatives. It provides the professional infrastructure those activities depend on, including legal and financial oversight, accounting, human resources, real estate management and technology support.

Technical work within the ecosystem spans technology support, AI investing and climate technology investing. The wider set of interests touches venture capital and for-profit investing, artificial intelligence, climate change, philanthropy and nonprofit foundations, scientific research and national security. Offices support more than 700 employees globally, giving the organisation a broad geographic footprint.

The stated focus of the group is on advancing scientific research, addressing climate change, strengthening national security and building technology that serves the public good. Operationally, the emphasis is on handling complexity so that the organisations within the ecosystem can concentrate on their own work. Roles may sit within a single entity or across the shared services that support the group as a whole.
