CapitalG

CapitalG is Alphabet’s independent growth fund, established in 2013, focusing on growth-stage technology companies. The firm provides both significant capital, typically ranging from $50 million to $200 million per company, and strategic expertise to help remarkable leaders accelerate the growth of their businesses. CapitalG leverages in-house operators and Google advisors to guide entrepreneurs through the critical transition from start-up to scale-up, aiming to dramatically accelerate and amplify each company's success.

The firm was founded to share the lessons learned from Google’s own scaling journey, as well as that of its portfolio companies, with the next generation of transformative businesses. CapitalG operates with Alphabet Inc. as its sole Limited Partner, providing patient, long-term capital. This structure ensures that CapitalG's priorities are closely aligned with those of its entrepreneurs, fostering a collaborative environment focused on long-term success rather than short-term strategic gains for Google.

CapitalG maintains a concentrated portfolio, allowing for substantial capital investment and hands-on support for each company. Their investment areas span enterprise infrastructure, security, and data; fintech; and consumer services and marketplaces. Notable investments include industry leaders such as Stripe, Airbnb, Databricks, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Duolingo, Credit Karma, and Gusto. The firm boasts a strong track record with 16 IPOs and 11 M&A exits.

The team at CapitalG offers dedicated operational support, drawing on deep experience with growth-stage companies and special access to Google’s insights and expertise. This includes high-touch value delivery through dedicated account leads, senior Google advisors, and go-to-market experts. They provide tailored engagements covering business model development, qualified customer introductions, executive and technical recruiting support, security reviews, marketing channel revamps, and leadership and engineering training.
