About this episode

Gary J. Ross interviews Jeremiah Gordon about growth equity investing and the legal challenges in the venture capital lifecycle.

Host Gary J. Ross and Jeremiah Gordon, General Counsel of CapitalG, discuss growth equity investing and legal issues that arise at the later stages of the venture capital lifecycle. Jeremiah tells Gary that CapitalG, Alphabet’s independent growth fund, operates differently from traditional corporate venture capital. Instead of investing to serve Google or Alphabet’s strategic needs, the fund partners with companies such as Databricks, Stripe and CrowdStrike to drive financial returns and transform industries. Jeremiah discusses growth-stage diligence, the role of in-house counsel, and the new challenges created by the rapid growth in AI companies. The episode concludes with a look at exit transactions, particularly the increasing prevalence of private-to-private acquisitions.
