What's your point? Google Capital has been around for a long time... so has Google Ventures. There's nothing too special about them.
SurveyMonkey, Credit Karma, Renaissance Learning... Wouldn't be surprised if Google Cap is outperforming 95% of growth funds out there.
They invested $40m at a $1B valuation and sold a month later at $1.1B... this isn't even a good outcome for Google Capital.
it's a fund with a single LP and a pretty unique mandate to invest in things that are too big for Google Ventures
Certainly not on the hunt for ten baggers
Google Capital is staying on as an investor, doesn't sound like they're selling anything.
