Investment thesis

Gorilla invests in capital-efficient founders building sustainable businesses rather than pursuing hypergrowth. The firm emphasizes disciplined, probability-based investing focused on founders with customer focus, integrity, and the competencies to execute their business models. Capital deployment is tied to milestones to avoid premature scaling, with exits measured by realistic positive outcomes rather than unicorn status.
