Frequently asked questions
How does the firm source its venture-capital deal flow?
Global Asset Capital uses a direct-sourcing model that avoids agented auctions, leaning on a network built through over 500 transactions since 1997 (per Bloomberg, 2018). The firm's multi-asset presence in North America, Europe, and Asia gives its deal teams visibility into technology companies that also have real-estate or structured-finance needs, creating referral paths distinct from pure-play venture firms.
Does Global Asset Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm pursues both direct investments and fund structures. Its real-estate and credit practices are predominantly direct, while the venture-capital activity is organized through dedicated fund vehicles — the most recent being GAC Venture Capital Fund II, for which a regulatory filing was made in June 2022 (per SEC filing, June 2022).
How large is Global Asset Capital, measured by total capital deployed?
Bloomberg reported in 2018 that the firm had deployed over $10 billion across more than 500 transactions since 1997. The firm does not publicly disclose a current AUM figure, so the $10 billion deployment figure serves as the primary public scale reference (per Bloomberg, 2018).
What is the firm's geographic footprint?
Global Asset Capital maintains sourcing and deal-execution capabilities in North America, Europe, and Asia. Its real-estate portfolio has included properties in US markets such as California and New York, as well as in Tokyo, while its venture and credit practices operate globally from the Palo Alto headquarters.
