GV CEO David Krane on what it takes to manage 800 investments in five years at StrictlyVC SF

GV, Google’s venture capital spinoff that started in 2009, has invested billions of dollars in companies from Uber and Nothing to scent digitizing startup Osmo.

Their CEO David Krane joined our December StrictlyVC event in San Francisco to discuss his approach to identifying potential investments, what it’s like to work so closely with Google while helping potential competitors, and why their approach to successful exits is much more long-term than other VCs.

Check out the recording of his conversation with TechCrunch Editor-in-Chief and GM Connie Loizos above, and head here to see the rest of our speakers from the San Francisco event, including Bluesky CEO Jay Graber and Scale Ventures Partners Jeremy Kaufmann and Alex Niehenke.
