G Squared
Venture Capital and Private Equity PrincipalsIllinois, United States51-200 Employees
Founded in 2011, G Squared is aligned to a fundamental shift: venture-backed companies are staying private longer. As a result, private companies need both primary capital to fund their continuing growth and transitional capital to provide liquidity to early investors, current and former employees, and other shareholders. Positioned at the crux of this liquidity access challenge, G Squared partners with mid-to-late-stage portfolio companies throughout the remainder of their private lifecycles using a fundamentally different approach to traditional VCs. We invest in companies that challenge the status quo, and partner world-class entrepreneurs tackling big problems. G Squared funds have invested in over 160 companies including household names like Airbnb, Bombas, Bolt, Coursera, Lyft, Quince, Spotify, Toast, and Turo, as well as companies which we believe to be the next generation of disruptors including Anthropic, Brex, Cyera, Fanatics, Lambda, Monzo, Nscale, Replit, Stripe and Wiz.
