IIRC Google began with a DARPA grant but they were not directly funded by In-Q-Tel. However, In-Q-Tel invested in a different company that Google acquired which was the basis for Google Earth and through that acquisition In-Q-Tel gained shares in Google.

But some of their products were. Google Earth was an acquisition, Keyhole Inc, and one of their early investors was In-Q-Tel.
