I believe Intel's VC arm has been very successful, and there's the added benefit that Intel gets a better preview into technologies it may want to acquire outright -- however, I'd like to see the numbers, too.

- Nanite 9y agoHaven't look at their portfolio extensively, but their Basis acquisition, one of the earlier fitness tracker watches with optical heart rate sensor, comes to mind, which was just south of $100M, and was basically shuttered with their flagship product pulled of the market after serious issues. Like most corporate VC's Intel pursues synergy deals, For intel these are categorized as "more Moore" and "more than Moore" i.e. as long as it contains silicon it could expand their markets
- colbyh 9y agonot sure why this is downvoted - Intel was ranked #1 in at least one major VC rankings list for like 3 years in a row (2012-2015ish). not sure how they have done recently but for a while they were def at the top.
