Garrett Gruener

Garrett Gruener is founder of Ask.com and a co-founder of [http://www.altapartners.com/team_detail.php?id=18, Alta Partners] , a venture capital firm. He was also a candidate for the 2003 California recall special election from the Democratic Party, finishing 28th in a field of 135 candidates with 2,562 votes. He was one of the candidates to aggressively use the Internet to push his message, and also ran campaign ads in selected television markets. However, he was concerned about eventual winner Arnold Schwarzenegger winning and so in the last week of the campaign threw his support to Cruz Bustamante, the primary Democratic candidate. Gruener received $1.07 million in contributions to his committee, but virtually all of it was from himself, meaning that each vote cost approximately $400.

Gruener is a class of '76 UCSD Alumus. He lives in Berkeley with his wife, attorney Amy Slater, and their daughter, Dakota Gruener.

Garrett Gruener is an accomplished pilot.
