Frederique Dame is taking the lessons of hypergrowth during early Uber days to GV, Alphabet's venture firm. : When Frederique Dame left Uber in 2016, she'd had four years of hyper-growth and she was on the hunt for a new company to repeat the crazy ride. During her time at the ride-hailing giant, it had grown from 80 employees to more than 7,000 and from four cities to more than 400. But no company after Uber caught her eye as being in the same state of growth or with the same level of product-market fit.
