Google Forms $100 Million Venture Fund
| March 31, 2009 |  View for printing |
Google is forming a $100 million fund to invest in early-stage start-up firms.
The fund, to be called Google Ventures http://www.google.com/ventures/ , will be wholly owned by Google, but will operate as a separate entity and will seek investment opportunities to maximize returns rather than looking for investments that strictly fit with Google's strategic vision.
Rich Miner, a co-founder of Android smart phone software that Google acquired in 2005, and Bill Maris are the fund's two managing partners.
