Description
Founded in 2009 in Mountain View and Boston as Google Ventures, GV originated as an independent venture capital firm designed to combine the reliability of a single LP, the autonomy of a traditional VC, and the technical expertise of a founder, with Alphabet as its sole limited partner. GV invests from seed to growth stages across technology and life sciences sectors, supporting 400 active portfolio companies across North America, Europe, and Israel, with over $13 billion in assets under management. Its operating partners support founding teams across executive talent, communications, and marketing, and connect startups with Google and Alphabet companies for access to technology and talent. The firm has backed companies across AI applications (e.g., Harvey, Hebbia, Synthesia), healthcare AI (e.g., insitro, Isomorphic Labs), dev tools and security (e.g., Stackblitz, Vercel), and infrastructure (e.g., Snorkel, SambaNova, Modular, Lightmatter), with notable historical investments and exits including Uber, Nest, Slack, GitLab, Duo Security, Flatiron Health, Lemonade, and One Medical.
