Google never ceases to amaze me.
Get it straight from the horse’s mouth at Google’s office company blog where Rich Miner and Bill Maris, Managing Partners of Google Ventures, post:
At its core, Google Ventures is charged with finding and helping to develop exceptional start-ups. We’ll be focusing on early stage investments across a diverse range of industries, including consumer Internet, software, clean-tech, bio-tech, health care and, no doubt, other areas we haven’t thought of yet. Central to our effort will be our fellow Googlers, whom we view as a critically important resource to help educate us about potential investments areas and evaluate specific companies.
Pretty interesting idea to leverage Google’s army of “Googlers” for its VC business development….as always, Google being creative.
