Bill Gross founded Idealab, one of the world’s first startup studios, in 1996, and it has launched more than 175 companies since.
His latest venture uses AI and his own company-building methods to generate startup ideas. It gives them away for free, and helps founders find the support and capital to build them.
“The world desperately needs these ideas, but they need someone who cares about the problem to make them happen,” he tells Impact Loop in an exclusive interview at Web Summit in Lisbon.

Bill Gross has around 300,000 climate and agtech startup ideas – and he’ll help founders bring them to life.
The ideas sit inside Idealab.ai, a free platform recently launched by the serial entrepreneur. The platform holds 1.2 million business ideas, built upon Gross’ 31 principles for business success – and then supercharged by artificial intelligence algorithms.
