Private Equity

Control investments

Majority positions in companies where GDA takes responsibility for governance and strategic direction.

Growth equity

Minority capital for companies with proven unit economics entering their scaling phase.

Operating partnership

Post-investment work on capital structure, corporate development, and market access.

Liquidity planning

Exit sequencing through strategic sale, sponsor transaction, or public market entry.

01

Origination

Coverage across nine sectors and four continents, sourced through operators rather than intermediaries.

02

Underwriting

Diligence on the business first and the technology second. No thesis survives without unit economics.

03

Ownership

Board involvement, corporate development support, and the firm’s technical capability applied as a value-creation lever.

Nine of the firm's holdings were built inside GDA rather than bought into it: capitalized from the balance sheet, structured by the firm's own people, and taken to market through its distribution. More than seventy portfolio companies have come through the platform.

This is what separates a merchant bank from an allocator, and it is the reason the firm's operating capability — blockchain and AI infrastructure it runs itself — is a value-creation lever rather than a talking point.

01

Origination

Ventures begin inside the firm — from a thesis the investment team has held long enough to test, or a gap a portfolio company cannot fill alone.

02

Formation

GDA supplies founding capital, corporate structure, and the first operating team. The firm takes a founder’s position, not a passenger’s.

03

Scale

Capital markets access, corporate development, and institutional distribution applied from the balance sheet the venture was launched from.
