# Brands in Google’s CapitalG portfolio

After Google folded its companies under Alphabet, one of those units was Google Capital. It recently rebranded as CapitalG. Here are a few of the brands it has backed. For the full list, see [capitalg.com/companies](http://www.capitalg.com/companies/).

## 1. Airbnb

Airbnb is a marketplace where people rent out homes or spare rooms for short stays, an alternative to hotels. Sign up at Airbnb.com.tr to book a place or list your own when it would otherwise sit empty.

Besides often costing less than a chain hotel, it is a way to stay closer to local culture: a lived-in apartment usually beats the same corporate lobby in every city, and the home-like comfort is part of the appeal.

## 2. Snapchat

Snapchat is one of the most talked-about mobile apps, also known as the app people install, fail to get, and delete. You capture 1 to 10 second photos or videos and can post them to a 24-hour story. Everything is timed and then removed by the system.

## 3. SurveyMonkey

SurveyMonkey is a web tool for online surveys: customer feedback, market research, event planning, and more. It is easy enough for anyone to build questionnaires with custom questions or items from its question bank.

## 4. Glassdoor

Co-founded by Expedia and Zillow co-founder Rich Barton, Glassdoor has since 2007 given candidates first-hand views of workplaces. Employees anonymously share how big employers run hiring, plus role pros and cons and salary ranges.

## 5. Freshdesk

Freshdesk, founded in 2009, sells customer-support software used by hundreds of companies including Honda, UNICEF, and Cisco, across several products.

## 6. Duolingo

Duolingo is a playful language app built so more people can learn a bit of another tongue. It will not make you sound native, but it can get you through greetings and urgent chats. The interface is simple, and it covers 23 languages.

## 7. Cloudflare
