Google Ventures Takes A Moneyball Approach To Investing: Its All About The Data
Today at Web 2.0, John Batelle sat down with Bill Maris and Graham Spencer of Google Ventures for a quick peak inside Google's venture arm. For those unfamiliar, Google Ventures' team of 43 invests up to $200 million a year and in 2011 will make upwards of 100 investments. The value proposition of Google's venture wing is that, according to Maris, it's highly focused on engagement with the startups they're investing in, and, of course, partnerships and Google resources are always close at hand. While Google Ventures doesn't invest specifically to further Google Inc's products or development projects, the team consists primarily of former Googlers -- not to mention former entrepreneurs, investors, and scientists.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/6lNSp_JosTM/
