Google Venture Capital In Full Swing

Google has announced that they are prepared to support new technologies and start-ups with a fusion of cash. The popular search giant has stated that they will support new technologies, which brings up an interesting theory of mine. Google has invested in the electric car maker Tesla. Both of the founders of Google have also ordered the roadster vehicles that Tesla is getting ready to produce.

In the past Google has also publicly supported other green issues including geothermal technologies. I believe that Google will fund folks who will be attempting to solve some of our economic and energy woes that continue to plague us.

On the Google blog they also state that:

Economically, times are tough, but great ideas come when they will. If anything, we think the current downturn is an ideal time to invest in nascent companies that have the chance to be the “next big thing,” and we’ll be working hard to find them. If you think you have the next big idea, or if you just want to to learn more, please see our website at www.google.com/ventures.

It makes one wonder why companies such as Microsoft and Intel don’t follow Goggles lead. What do you think?

Comments welcome.
