Gene Frantz

I am inspired by founders and company leaders with the missionary zeal and the practical capacity to change their corner of the world. My 30 years of tech investing has given me the benefit of broad and deep experience having invested in and worked with many successful companies and management teams.

During my time at CapitalG, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most successful cybersecurity, fin tech, SaaS and infrastructure companies in the world. Working directly with such companies and bringing CapitalG’s significant resources to bear on their behalf has been exhilarating.

Beyond our portfolio, the building of CapitalG has also been a thrilling ride. I am proud of the success, reputation and culture that we have built at CapitalG from our early “start-up” days that reinforces the appreciation of and inspiration for the journeys and aspirations of our portfolio companies.
