Learning how great investment decisions get made
Best-practice and expert research. We studied best-in-class solutions across investment and portfolio management, and paired that with expert interviews to understand how sophisticated investors structure deal evaluation, scenario modeling, and diligence.
Interviews across the GV team. We interviewed Google Ventures' own associates and partners to map their real workflows — how deals moved, where forecasting happened, and what it took to see an investment both on its own and in the context of the full portfolio.
Six months from concept to production-ready. In roughly six months, we designed, prototyped, tested, and prepped Runway for production — including a full design system, component libraries, and complete engineering handoff to the implementation team.
