Mission

Our mission at Redshift is to solve the world's most challenging problems, with a spirit of creative freedom, technical excellence, and interdisciplinary play, making innovations that benefit all.


We can break this mission statement into three components:


  • Solve the world's most challenging problems. We concentrate our efforts on a few fundamental problems in science and technology at a time. These are chosen to maximize real-world impact and the leverage we as an organization can bring to bear.

  • A spirit of creative freedom, technical excellence, and interdisciplinary play. Great research happens when creativity and technical expertise collide. We aim to build an "idea collider" where this reaction is effective and repeatable.

  • Making innovations that benefit all. If breakthroughs are locked in the ivory tower, they can't help anyone. When we discover something, we create open-source tools and learning materials which make it accessible to all.
