About GSD Venture Studios:


We travel the world investing in resilient teams bold enough to #GoGlobal.


For too long self-motivated entrepreneurs have navigated the minefield of challenges to launching a global company with very little support. The last thing you should bet on in this situation is an unproven team that you don’t trust. GSD Venture Studios travels to   every  corner of the globe inviting resilient teams to establish partnerships that ensure organizations grow the right way, without games or gimmicks.  Unlike traditional investors, we take senior operational (often  co-founder) roles in these companies, capitalizing on our trusted reputation, experiences, and network to drive explosive growth.
