GV, Google parent Alphabet's independent $8 billion early-stage venture capital firm, has a message for the markets: They’re planning for the long haul. The firm is promoting four partners to general partner to take on the wide range of areas GV is funneling cash into—including, of course, generative A.I.
The firm promoted partners Issi Rozen, Frédérique Dame, Brendan Bulik-Sullivan, and Crystal Huang to general partner, they told me. Dame has been at GV since 2018 focusing on consumer tech, and hails from the likes of Uber and Yahoo; Rozen, who’s been at GV for four years and focuses on biotech as well as GV’s incubation efforts, is a serial entrepreneur who cofounded GV portfolio company Verve Therapeutics and was also a professional jazz guitarist; Huang, focused on tech including fintech and A.I., previously worked at venture firms NEA and GGV Capital; and Bulik-Sullivan, at GV since 2019, focuses on biotech and therapeutics after previously designing machine learning models at portfolio company Gritstone Oncology. Huang and Dame are currently GV’s only female GPs, as former GP Jessica Verrilli departed GV in April.
