About David Lawee

David Lawee, founder of CapitalG, invests in growth-stage technology companies (typically late-stage/Series B+) with check sizes of $50–$200 million per company, focusing on sectors like enterprise software, cybersecurity, fintech, AI, and consumer internet. His distinctive thesis is thesis-driven sector deep-dives targeting well-established businesses with strong growth that haven’t yet reached full potential, while providing portfolio companies access to Google’s people, knowledge, and culture for operational support. Notable portfolio companies include Airbnb, Stripe, Lyft, CrowdStrike, Databricks, Duolingo, UiPath, and Zscaler. Lawee stepped aside as CapitalG’s head in March 2023 after 10 years, having directed investments into over 55 companies totaling over $4 billion.
