summary

Google Ventures deploys about $200 million a year and plans roughly 100 investments per year while running a 43-person team that blends engineers, scientists and operators. Decision-making combines qualitative judgment with a data frame implemented in a hacked-together Excel and ad hoc models rather than secret search logs. Notable outcomes include funding DNAnexus and enabling DNA Nexus hosting SRA on Google Cloud and granting 1 million core hours to Adimab for antibody discovery.
