Shouldn't we all be treating this like just another VC? Everyone seems to be caught up in the fact that it's money coming from Google. But at the end of the day, it's money coming from an investor.
Obviously, because it's Google, they will be doing it differently. A couple of hints they give us are that they will "focus on seed and early stage startups across any industry". So obviously, amounts will be different than typical VCs. Also, the fact that it is pretty much a two person team (or that's how they are representing themselves), makes me think they are not offering the mentoring of a YC or the management of a VC.
- rjurney 18y agoWe think VCs are stupid. We think Google is smart. Both opinions are simplifications, but this explains the excitement.
