At the same time in January 2016 that John Giles announced he's "running for office" to succeed himself as mayor, he started the State-of-the-City 2016 with "Everything is great," winning the no-contest re-election campaign. Other people handle when "everything is great" differently, like this guy:
Google Ventures founder Bill Maris: ‘I’m leaving because everything is great.’
The investor talks about his decision to leave.
Bill Maris, the investor who started Google Ventures, one of the influential tech financiers in Silicon Valley, is departing, as Recode reported earlier today.
Maris, a neuroscientist by training, built Google Ventures (now called GV) into one of the more idiosyncratic venture firms — relying on data science for its investment decisions and a seemingly endless stream of capital from its parent, Google.
During his tenure, Maris also dipped into other parts of Google’s world, reportedly helping form Calico, the secretive health operation that sits under Google parent Alphabet.
As Recode reported, Maris will be replaced by David Krane, one of his current GV deputies.
Maris spoke briefly with Recode Wednesday night about his decision to depart. The interview below has been edited for brevity and clarity.
