Gates Ventures is the personal service company of Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates. Known until 2018 as bgC3, it comprises his personal staff, a think tank on problems of health and global development, and a technology investment portfolio.[2] The firm is distinct from Cascade Investment and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation although Gates uses it to support the Foundation's projects. Areas of research and investment include climate change, clean energy and Alzheimer's disease.[3]

Gates Ventures is located at Kirkland, Washington, in the same complex with Cascade and Melinda French Gates' Pivotal Ventures.[4] Niranjan Bose is currently Gates Ventures' managing director.[5][6]
