CapitalG

CapitalG is a late-stage growth capital fund founded in 2013 and based in Mountain View, California. As the growth investment arm of Alphabet, it focuses on investing in technology companies at the growth stage, aiming for profitability rather than strategic alignment with Alphabet. CapitalG provides not only capital but also access to Alphabet’s extensive resources, including a network of over 30 advisors from senior positions within the company, who offer expertise in areas such as data science, engineering, marketing, and product management. The firm was established by David Lawee, along with partners Gene Frantz, Laela Sturdy, and Gretchen Howard, all of whom bring significant experience from their previous roles at Google and private equity. Since its inception, CapitalG has made 92 investments in the technology sector and has exited from 24 of these investments.
