Google Person-Investor Map

This is the Person-Investor Map for the Google. There is an interesting structure here in terms of how the connections from the Investor Map and the connections from the Person Map combine and result in a new structure witht the gary Person to Investor links. The Person nodes for Ram Shriram, Michael Moritz, and John Doerr are now in the main cluster of the map along with the central investors. This is also a good example of how an individual can be represented by a Person node and an Individual Investor node in the same map. Ram Shriram is present in this map twice with a yellow Investor node and a Pink Person node.

It is highly likely that Michael Moritz works for Sequoia and that John Doerr works for Kleiner Perkins, as evidenced by the thickness of their links to those investors. This indicates that they sit on many Boards of companies into which their respective Investors have invested capital. This can be easily confirmed by clicking on their Person nodes and reading the background information that appears in the Information Window to see if they are affiliated with those VC firms.
