G Squared is a growth stage venture capital firm that invests privately in today's most dynamic companies.

About us

Founded in 2011, G Squared is aligned to a fundamental shift – venture-backed companies stay private longer. As a result, private companies need both primary capital to continue their growth trajectory and transitional capital to provide liquidity to early investors, current and former employees, and other sellers. Positioned at the crux of this liquidity access challenge, G Squared partners with portfolio companies throughout their lifecycle using a fundamentally different approach than traditional VCs. We invest in companies that challenge the status quo and demonstrate a clear path to superior returns, partnering world-class entrepreneurs tackling big problems. G Squared funds have invested in household names such as 23andMe, Coursera, Instacart, Lyft, Pinterest, and Spotify, and in the next generation of disruptors including Auto1 Group, Blend, Bolt, Brex, Capsule, Flexport, Impossible Foods, Toast, and Turo.

    ICYMI: 🌱 "What we run is called a ‘land and expand’ investment strategy, so we fire a rifle to calibrate a cannon ball. Every time, we start by making initial investments in around 40 companies, get the data, talk to the businesses, and decide which of the 40 are going to be our top 10. Then we load up." 🎯 Curious about how this strategy shapes our investment approach and informs our process? Check out this in-depth feature by Ryan Hibbison at Venture Capital Journal to learn more about our philosophy. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gjR-2S5U

    You hit the nail on the head, Jason Calacanis and Alex Wilhelm. Since 2011, G Squared has been offering transitional capital and liquidity services to the VC ecosystem. The company lifecycle is only getting longer and -- whether the IPO window is open or not -- shareholders of all types will need liquidity. Sourcing discounted shares in great pre-IPO assets is a specialty we’ve built and we’re proud to partner with dynamic growth-stage tech companies in our sixth flagship fund.

    Is G Squared's $1.1B secondary fund the start of a venture rebound? With shares trading at significant discounts, the new fund could indicate a market bottoming out. That would be good news for startups looking to raise, or exit. Alex Wilhelm and I discuss how secondary funds could reshape private markets and future investments.
