"Everybody has a different skill set, and everybody is willing to drop anything to help each other win,"
"It's a different person every night who wins the game. And I think that's really consistent with the way CapitalG is building its culture."
"I'm actually very optimistic about the future of energy prices,"
"You look at the history of energy consumption versus GDP. And cheap energy means more production, more income, and means a higher standard of living."
CapitalG promoted Jill Chase and Alex Nichols to general partners, the firm's first such promotions since 2013. Chase joined in 2020 with an AI-focused thesis and has backed Abridge, Baseten, Canva, LangChain, Physical Intelligence, and Rippling. Nichols joined in 2018, advanced from associate to partner, and worked with Laela Sturdy on investments including Duolingo, Stripe, and Whatnot; he recently led the investment in BasePower. Nichols expects batteries and solar to improve rapidly, lowering energy costs and raising living standards. CapitalG's culture emphasizes versatile contributors who step up unpredictably, likened to a WNBA team where different players shine each night.
