Schmidt Entities operates as an integrated family office managing the business, philanthropic, and personal affairs of Eric and Wendy Schmidt. The organization brings together several entities - including Hillspire, Schmidt Futures, and Schmidt Ocean Institute - under a single operational umbrella, employing more than 700 people across global offices.
The organisation manages a complex portfolio spanning for-profit venture capital allocations, nonprofit foundations including the Schmidt Family Foundation and Schmidt Sciences, and strategic initiatives. Investment focus areas include artificial intelligence and climate technology. Named mission priorities across the Schmidt ecosystem include advancing scientific research, addressing climate change, strengthening national security, and building technology that serves the public good.
Schmidt Entities provides comprehensive professional infrastructure to support this ecosystem: legal and financial oversight, accounting, human resources, real estate management, and technology support. This operational backbone enables the various Schmidt organisations to pursue their missions without managing administrative complexity internally.
