About David Schenkein
David Krane brings an unusual operator-communicator background to venture investing, having spent his early career in communications and product PR at Google before transitioning to GV, rather than coming from traditional finance or banking. He's known for personally leading GV's landmark ~$258M investment into Uber through what he described as a "relentless pursuit" of the founder, and he publicly frames his investing decisions through the lens of being a parent to Gen Z children, often discussing dinner-table conversations about the future of work and whether college is still worth it.
