Investors are eyeing Google this year $GOOG

It’s one of the least expensive of the magnificent 7

You should know how Google invests cash ⬇️

Here’s the three investment legs Google controls:

1. Alphabet - The parent company of Google handles investments and acquisitions for companies strategic to Googles core business like:

Google (search, YouTube, Gmail, Android)
Waymo
DeepMind 
Verily
 
Alphabet also buys shares of publicly traded companies too 

2. Google ventures aka GV - venture capital fund focused on start ups

operates like VC independent of Alphabets core business 

GV helps early stage businesses with seed funds including

Uber 
Git lab 
Nest
Slack
Lyft
Robinhood
Docusign
23andMe

3. Capital G - growth equity fund focused on tech

Offers financial & strategic service to late stage tech companies that are not yet mature including:

Duolingo 
Crowdstrike
AirBNB
Lyft 
ID,me
Stripe
Credit karma
Robinhood

This is how $GOOG manages investments at different stages of growth and business models under the same Alphabet Umbrella 

Sometimes a company can receive funding from both CapitalG and GV if the business maturity aligns with Google like Lyft and Robinhood 

Not surprised Google reduced their investment in Robinhood by like 90% at the end of 2023 before $HOOD went crazy ! 🤪
