What Makes a Moonshot
Astro Teller, CEO of X, Alphabet's "moonshot factory," shared insights into the company's approach at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 conference.
Teller noted that X has a "2% hit rate," meaning most of their attempts don't succeed, and that's acceptable.
X defines a moonshot as having three specific components.
- Attempt to solve a huge problem in the world.
- Have a product or service that could make the problem go away, however unlikely.
Notable companies that started as moonshots from X include Waymo and Wing.
