GV is reportedly leading a funding round for Lime, a bike-sharing platform also backed by NGP Capital and the Stanford-StartX fund.

US-based bike-sharing service Lime is in the process of raising $250m in funding from a consortium led by GV, the early-stage investment arm of diversified conglomerate Alphabet.

Coatue Management and Andreessen Horowitz are also expected to take part in the round.

Lime, founded in 2017 a LimeBike, operates a network of dockless bikes that users can rent through an app and activate by scanning a QR code. The company has also added electric-assist bikes and electric scooters to its network.
