- Jun 30, 2026GV's Dave Munichiello on Qualcomm's Modular Deal, a Roughly 10x Return, and the AI Software ShiftGV general partner Dave Munichiello discussed Qualcomm's June 24 acquisition of AI infrastructure software startup Modular in a Crunchbase Q&A published June 30, describing a return of roughly 10x on GV's total dollars invested after leading Modular's Series A at a $155 million valuation with a $23 million check.
