Who they are

About

Google, through its parent company Alphabet, operates two main investment arms: GV (formerly Google Ventures) and CapitalG (formerly Google Capital), alongside direct strategic acquisitions. GV, founded in 2009, is a venture capital arm providing seed to growth-stage funding for technology, life science, healthcare, AI, and cybersecurity companies, aiming for financial returns. CapitalG, established in 2013, is a growth equity fund focusing on larger, later-stage technology companies, offering capital and access to Google's expertise and network. Google also makes direct acquisitions to secure infrastructure vital for scaling AI, such as cloud security and renewable energy.
