The firm writes first checks and remains actively involved from prototype through scale. It supports founders across the US, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and beyond, believing great companies can emerge anywhere. Gelt targets markets with breakout potential rather than passing trends, investing across sectors ranging from AI and deep tech to gaming and social commerce.
