Is Google in the practice of making these kinds of investments in very early stage tech sectors? What is in this for them?

Yes. I didn't cut this deal, mind you, so I can't speak for Gisele, but we do indeed make these kinds of investments if anything as early as possible in a region.

It might be perceived as riskier, but I would say that it's likely only slightly riskier than funding a startup anywhere else.
