UDavid Koch wasweleka ngo-Agasti 23, 2019 eneminyaka engama-79.USean Zanni / uPatrick McMullan ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Ibhiliyoni yezigidigidi zeshishini uDavid Koch, omnye wabazalwana bakaKoch owaziwa kakhulu ngabo ifuthe kwezopolitiko zaseMelika , Usweleke ngoLwesihlanu kusasa eneminyaka engama-79. Ukudlula kwakhe kuqondisa uluntu ngokubanzi kusapho lakwaKoch kwakhona kunye nobukhosi balo obukhulu nobufihlakeleyo beshishini.
Ishishini losapho lakwaKoch, i-Koch Industries, yinkampani yesibini yabucala enkulu e-US, elima ngaphezulu kwe- $ 110 yezigidigidi kwingeniso kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Iphi kwaye iyenza njani imali, nangona kunjalo, ayinampendulo ilula.
Ngokwembali, amashishini aseKoch ayesaziwa kakhulu ngesiseko sawo esinzulu kwipetroleum, kumzi mveliso wokurhweba noworhwebo.

Ngokukodwa okuqaphelekayo kukuhlala kuthulekile kosapho lakwa-Koch kwitekhnoloji yokusika kule minyaka idlulileyo. Nganye Ingxelo yakutshanje yeBloomberg , Ukusukela ngo-2013, i-Koch Industries ityale imali engaphezulu kwe-17 yezigidigidi zeedola kwiinkampani zobuchwephesha kwinqanaba lokuqala kwiindawo ezinjengeerobhothi, ikhompyutha kunye nezixhobo zonyango.
Uninzi lwezi nzame zazikhokelwa nguKoch omncinci, unyana kaCharles Koch, uChase Koch, ngokusebenzisa ingalo eyinkunzi yokuzibandakanya kweKoch Industries, iKoch Disruptive Technologies (eyasekwa ngonyaka ka2017).
I-conglomerate ikwafumana ukubonakaliswa kwicandelo lobuchwephesha ngokuxhasa iifemu zotyalo-mali ngaphandle kwesambrela seKoch. NgoJanuwari 2018, inkampani ye-VC ebizwa ngokuba yiTrust Ventures yasungulwa ngexesha labucala labucala labanikeli bezopolitiko abazizityebi kufutshane neqela lezemicimbi karhulumente likaKochs.

Ushicilelo lwe3D
Kwangoko kulo nyaka, i-Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT) ikhokele imali eyi-160 yezigidi zeedola kwi-Desktop Metal, eneminyaka emithathu ubudala egxila ekushicileleni nge-3D ngentsimbi. Itekhnoloji, i-KDT ithi iwebhusayithi yayo , unokubona usetyenziso oluphambili kuyilo, ukuhambisa, ukuhanjiswa kunye neminye imiba yokuvelisa.
Lutshintsho olwenziweyo kuyilo lweenxalenye zentsimbi eziya kuthi zisivumele ukuba sakhe izinto ebesingaziphuphi okanye ezazifudula zingenakwenzeka ukuzenza, i-KDT yatsho kwiwebhusayithi yayo.
Iirobhothi
Kunyaka ophelileyo, iyunithi yezobuchwephesha kwezobuchwephesha kunye nezixhobo zobunjineli zeKoch Industries zithenge indawo yokulawula kwiGenesis Robotic, inkampani yaseCanada efuna ukusetyenziswa kweerobhothi kumacandelo oshishino.
Isixhobo sezoNyango
Kwi-2017, i-KDT ityale imali kwi-InSightec, umenzi wezixhobo zotyando ophuhlisa itekhnoloji ye-ultrasound ngenjongo yokuphelisa isidingo sokwenza izinto ngexesha lonyango.
Imizi-mveliso yaseKoch ifumene isigxina komnye umenzi wezixhobo zonyango obizwa ngokuba yiWindgap Medical kulo nyaka ngenkxaso-mali yayo, iMolex Ventures. Imveliso yakutshanje yeWindgap yezoNyango yi-epinephrine auto-injector enokwahlula izinto ezimanzi nezomileyo kwaye uzixube ngexesha lokusetyenziswa, ke oko kwenza ubomi bube lula kwizigulana ezixhomekeke kwichiza.

Intsapho yakwaKoch ikwanayo ne-1.5 yezigidigidi zeedola kumdlali ophambili we-Infor Enterprise Izicelo, ezaziwa ngokuhambelana nesoftware. Inkampani ikwinqanaba eliphambi kwe-IPO.
