GSV Capital

GSV Capital is a publicly traded, non-diversified closed-end management investment company structured as a business development company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, focused on generating total return by seeking capital gains from equity and equity-related investments in rapidly growing, venture capital-backed emerging companies. Its investment activities are managed by GSV Asset Management, LLC, and it acquires positions through secondary private market transactions, direct investments and negotiated purchases from selling stockholders, occasionally investing opportunistically in select publicly traded securities or non-U.S. companies that meet its criteria. The firm’s investment philosophy emphasizes disciplined analysis of growth potential, recurring revenues and market fundamentals across technology-oriented sectors that may include social-mobile, cloud computing, internet commerce, green tech and education technology. GSV Capital operates under an external management structure with administrative services provided by its affiliate, and its board and advisers oversee allocation of opportunities and governance consistent with fiduciary duties. It is headquartered in Woodside, California, and historically has participated in financing emerging growth businesses while navigating the complexities of public and private investment markets.
