OLLIE GRANT VENTURES
Partnership-driven investments that align with your financial vision
Ollie Grant Ventures was founded on a simple belief: private equity investing should be built on true partnership, not transactions. We specialize in late-stage companies in regulated industries, where our unique regulatory expertise creates competitive advantages.
Led by a former FINRA examiner and serial entrepreneurs, we combine deep regulatory knowledge with operational experience to identify opportunities others overlook. Our commitment: 100% GP capital in every Series, direct access to managing partners, and transparent communication. Always.
Faithful. Forward.
WHAT SETS US APART?
1. Regulatory Expertise as Competitive Advantage
Led by Gerson Gibbs, former FINRA examiner, our team sees opportunity where others see only compliance risk. We understand regulatory
frameworks from the inside—how regulators think, what creates defensible moats, and where complexity becomes competitive advantage.
This isn't just financial analysis. It's regulatory intelligence that informs every investment decision. In cannabis, defense technology, financial services, and healthcare, regulatory complexity isn't a barrier—it's our edge.

2. True Partnership, Not Transactions
We invest our own capital in every Series alongside our partners. This isn't just alignment—it's authentic partnership with shared risk and reward.
When you invest with OGV, you have direct access to managers Gerson Gibbs and Ryan Foncannon. No call centers. No runaround. Just transparent communication and quarterly reporting that actually tells you what's happening with your capital.
Our Series structure provides flexibility and transparency that traditional blind-pool funds don't offer. You choose which opportunities align with your objectives.
