Hands-on go-to-market, people & talent, and product & engineering support, often producing multimillion-dollar value within the first yearGrowth is more than a stage; it’s a state of mind.
We seek to dramatically accelerate and amplify each company’s success.
We helped Duolingo develop its successful monetization model and scale its marketing channels, Credit Karma refresh its HR operations, and Gusto revamp its payment system. We even incubated CrowdStrike’s inside sales team. We help consumer companies expand their marketing channels, and we help enterprise companies build sales pipelines with qualified leads generating an average of $10 million in incremental pipeline revenue per company within the first year alone.
Unmatched growth experience
We’ve had front row seats to Google’s growth story—as well as Stripe’s, Airbnb’s, Databricks', CrowdStrike's, Zscaler's and more. We leverage our deep experience with growth-stage companies and our special access to Google’s insights and expertise to support entrepreneurs through the step change into growth.
Dedicated operational support
CapitalG was founded to share the lessons learned from Google’s scaling journey—and that of our portfolio—with the next generation of transformative companies. Our dedicated in-house operators and extensive networks of senior Google advisors and go-to-market experts deliver high-touch value to companies and their teams.
Your partner in growth
We direct our support for maximum impact. Immediately following each new investment, dedicated account leads begin establishing tailor-made connections and programming designed to accelerate each company’s growth.
Typical engagements include business model development, qualified customer introductions, executive or technical recruiting support, security reviews, marketing channel revamps, and leadership and engineering training. Some engagements involve a few sessions with Google experts, while others span many months. We work with companies as long as it takes to help them achieve success.
The companies we work with
CapitalG partners with a small number of transformational consumer and enterprise tech companies making the step change into growth. Investment areas include enterprise infrastructure, security, and data; fintech; and consumer services and marketplaces.
