Betting Beyond the Core: An Evening with Steven Kan, Director of Other Bets at Alphabet
Join us for an intimate, off-the-record dinner with Steven Kan, Director of Other Bets at Alphabet.
At Alphabet Inc., Steven oversees the portfolio that sits beyond Google’s core - backing and scaling some of the most ambitious technology companies of our time. His remit spans breakthrough ventures including Waymo, Isomorphic Labs, Calico, Intrinsic, X, Tapestry, as well as investment platforms GV and CapitalG.
These are not incremental bets. They are long-horizon, frontier investments in autonomy, life sciences, robotics, and next-generation infrastructure - built with the patience and scale of one of the world’s most influential technology companies.
Over dinner, Steven will take us inside how Alphabet evaluates “moonshots,” allocates capital across operating companies and funds, and balances breakthrough ambition with disciplined execution. We’ll explore:
How trillion-dollar platforms think about asymmetric risk
What separates a science project from a scalable company
The role of corporate venture in shaping entire industries
Lessons from managing some of the most advanced tech initiatives in the world
Only 10 seats available.
