Google Ventures Launches Co-Managed by Rich Miner - Cambridge, MA

Rich Miner, the former vice president of mobile platforms at Google, will head the company’s newly announced venture capital fund and will be based in Cambridge, according to blog reports. The new group will focus on early-stage investments in a range of industries, including consumer Internet, software, clean-tech, bio-tech, health care “and, no doubt, other areas we haven't thought of yet,” Miner posted Monday night on Google’s blog. “If you think you have the next big idea, or if you just want to learn more, please see our website,” Miner said.
