Bill Maris, former CEO of GV and now the head of venture capital fund Section 32.
The Google Ventures founder, who served as the firm's CEO $4, is raising a new $230 million fund, according to $4. The fund will be called Section 32 and will focus on health care investments.
Recode reports that Maris will run the new fund himself without other partners and will remain in San Diego rather than move to Silicon Valley.
Maris founded Google Ventures in 2009. It was later rebranded as GV $4 in 2015.
Under Maris, GV invested in Uber, ecommerce company Jet (which $4 in August), and Nest, which $4. Maris reportedly left the firm to spend time with his family, passing the torch to $4, who previously served as managing partner at the fund.
Maris' departure from GV was $4 in the last several months. Nest's Tony Fadell, Google Fiber's Craig Barratt, Project Wing's Dave Vos, and Chris Urmson, one of the original members of Google's self-driving car project, have left the company in the last year.
