Motorola Ventures helps turn great new ideas into thriving businesses. They are not a lab, but like one, they are about discovery. They focus on opportunities that complement Motorola's total business strategy. They evaluate "new idea companies," the people and technologies behind them and the vision they bring. They identify cutting-edge technology investments that will help them to achieve the best solutions to fit their customers' needs. Every investment is a strategic alliance encapsulated by vision, creativity, and business acumen. Bringing together talent and sharing dreams allows them to achieve more together than they can alone. Motorola Ventures represents a diversified portfolio with a typical investment ranging from $1 million to $5 million.
