Google Ventures dedicates $300 million per year to invest in startups

Bill Maris
Managing Partner

Yesterday I shared some great news with the startups in our portfolio at our annual Founder & CEO Summit: we’ve expanded the size of our fund by 50% to $300 million a year.

Our mission has always been to find and invest in the most disruptive and interesting founders, and we want to do more of this. The summit yesterday brought together more than 250 entrepreneurs from across our 130+ portfolio companies.  Here are a few highlights from the day:

Fireside chat with Instagram Founder Kevin Systrom and General Partner Kevin Rose.

 

Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin discusses Google X.
