Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Launched as Google Ventures in 2009, GV is an independent venture capital firm with Alphabet as its sole limited partner. The firm's mission is to back 'innovative founders moving the world forward,' operating on long time horizons and dealing in 'decades, not rounds.' GV invests from seed to growth stages across technology and life sciences — including AI/ML, enterprise software, developer tools, cybersecurity, consumer, and healthcare — supporting 400+ active portfolio companies across North America, Europe, and Israel with over $13 billion in assets under management. GV emphasizes that success requires the right mindset, the right team, the right product, and the right long-term partner. The firm leverages its unique position within the Alphabet ecosystem to provide portfolio companies with access to Google's people, products, and global network, while investing independently with full fiduciary responsibility. Since 2023, GV has accelerated its focus on AI-native companies across infrastructure, applications, healthcare, and developer tools.
Notable quotes
“The easy problems have mostly been solved. We're left with complex, long-term challenges that demand strong collaboration and creative thinking.”
“We're long-term investors and we have this flexibility to invest at any stage throughout a company's life, even after their IPO.”
“We're investing hundreds of millions of dollars in companies driven by AI. We're doing it at many different levels of the stack. But I think right now we have more questions than answers — and I think that's generally true of folks who are deeply curious and trying to learn as much as they can about a new space.”
