A SuperAngel VC Company

G-51 utilizes proven investment practices to develop high-growth and high-velocity businesses that deliver nationally ranked returns to our investors. G-51's success is based on three business catalysts that consistently create value in our portfolio companies, for our limited partners and for our investment syndication partners.

Gap Keeper™

G-51 Capital Management provides the sound experience, deep knowledge and funding support that entrepreneurs and large venture funds need to close the operational, technical and financial gaps that open during the process of building long-term commercially viable businesses.  Our strategy is based on making targeted high-impact investments for $250 thousand to $2 million per round.  We sometimes augment our investments with large institutional venture capital firms in syndication to provide the capital companies need to meet revised milestones or extend their operational runway.  Gap Keeper™ services gives our large venture capital partners top tier operational support without the dilution associated with the large minimum investment requirements of another large fund.  It also creates an opportunity for us to significantly leverage our capital via syndication and participation in investments generally reserved only for much larger funds.  We then apply our market understanding, team augmentation, financial budgeting and operational milestones experience with our large venture firm syndication experience to selectively make early stage investments, bridging the gaps that exist between angel investors who generally invest in the $250,000 to $500,000 range and traditional venture investors who characteristically invest in the $5 million to $7 million range.  Working with companies and funding sources from across the United States who invest in various stages gives G-51 broad life cycle knowledge to create synergy in our portfolio and consistently yield superior returns.

In 1996, we coined the phrase “gap keeper” 1. Venture capital services that helps entrepreneurs bridge the financial and support gaps between angel investments and traditional large scale venture capital firms.  2. Venture capital services that helps other private equity firms fill financial and support gaps in early-series syndication investments.

G-51 Capital Management has provided Gap Keeper™ services in the venture capital market since 1996.  G-51 typically invests in software, hardware, internet and clean tech businesses once they have developed a beta product.  G-51 takes a collaborative approach to investing and often begins collaboration with prospective companies in the pre-product stages of development.  We actively fill financial and support gaps for our portfolio companies and will continue to do so in order to help build companies of enduring value. 

Our Gap Keeper™ services have succeeded.  We have invested modest amounts of capital and built very exciting companies.  We look forward to many more years of providing Gap Keeper™ services and building great companies.
