Guild Capital Management manages investments for private investment funds that focus on early-stage venture capital, particularly in direct-to-consumer e-commerce in the United States and India, and e-commerce infrastructure in India. Guild provides investment management to special purpose vehicles (SPVs) formed to invest in single portfolio companies. Guild seeks to actively partner with portfolio companies to assist in growth strategies, team building, and brand creation.
Guild Capital Management does not charge management fees directly to the special purpose vehicles (SPVs) they advise. Instead, certain affiliates of Guild receive an incentive allocation based on the realized capital gains or appreciation of each investment series. This means they get a portion of the profits when the investments do well.
