As GV’s CEO and Managing Partner, David Krane has built his life and work around the art of investing — not only in capital, but in deep and long-standing relationships. David grew up in Corvallis, Oregon, a university town where he was surrounded by people driven by curiosity and life-long learning. The son of a nuclear physicist and author, David understood at an early age that exciting things happen at the crossroads of science and culture. His journey from music major to journalism to investing reflects his enthusiasm for exploration and discovery. After early career stops at Qualcomm and Apple, David joined Google in 2000 (as employee number 84) when it was still an unproven startup. Within a few fast-paced years, he had risen to lead Google’s global communications and public affairs group and was part of the senior leadership team that guided the company’s growth into a multibillion-dollar global enterprise.
