G Squared is a global venture capital firm founded in 2011, focusing on growth-stage technology companies that are reshaping industries. With headquarters in Chicago and offices in San Francisco, Zurich, and Miami, G Squared invests globally in both primary and secondary markets, tackling liquidity challenges as companies stay private longer. The firm takes a unique approach, offering transitional capital to fund growth while providing liquidity to early investors, employees, and shareholders, bridging a gap that many startups face. G Squared's portfolio boasts over 100 companies, including industry giants like Airbnb, Lyft, Coursera, Spotify, and Toast. They are also invested in emerging leaders such as airSlate, Brex, Tipalti, and PandaDoc, which G Squared believes are the next wave of industry disruptors. The firm focuses on consumer internet, fintech, SaaS, and mobility, investing in companies that address significant market inefficiencies and challenge the status quo. Their investment strategy is hands-on, often leading structured employee tender offers and actively engaging with portfolio companies throughout their growth phases. This partnership model sets G Squared apart from traditional venture capital firms, as it helps companies not only secure funding but also navigate operational challenges. With their global footprint and focus on innovation, G Squared continues to back companies that are shaping the future of technology.
