GV is Alphabet's venture capital arm, investing from seed through growth stages in technology and life sciences companies, with more than $13bn under management and 400+ active portfolio companies.
GV, founded in 2009, is the venture capital arm of Alphabet. It invests from seed through growth stages in technology and life sciences companies, with Alphabet as its sole limited partner. The firm reports more than $13 billion in assets under management and a portfolio of more than 400 active companies.
Investment activity spans a defined set of domains: artificial intelligence and AI applications, computer science, developer tools, security, infrastructure, consumer technology, enterprise software, healthcare, life sciences and frontier technology. The stated approach is long-horizon - GV describes itself as a dependable partner through the difficult, long-term work of building companies - and it works with teams over extended time periods rather than on a transactional basis.
Support beyond capital is structured through operating partners covering executive talent, communications and marketing, alongside technical collaboration from an investing team of computer scientists, engineers and former entrepreneurs who work directly with founders on technical challenges. The firm also draws on relationships across Google and Alphabet to provide expertise beyond the GV team itself.
Geographic presence covers North America, Europe and Israel.
