Galaxy Venture Capital

Galaxy Venture Capital (GVC) is a venture capital and full-suite financial advisory firm founded in 2015, headquartered in Santa Barbara, California. The firm services investors, founders, real estate sponsors, family offices, and high-profile individuals including athletes and celebrities. Managing Partner Adam Lewis brings over 18 years of experience in private equity, capital markets, and strategic advisory, and is supported by Venture Manager Benjamin Solovyev and Venture Partner Jason Liu. The advisory board includes former C-suite executives from HSBC Private Bank, Arthur Andersen, Brevan Howard, and Citibank London. GVC handles transactions from seed-stage funding to $300 million-plus enterprise deals, deploying $500,000 to $3 million checks at the seed and Series A stages. The portfolio of 11 companies is concentrated in fintech (five investments) and blockchain technology (four investments), reflecting the firm's particular expertise in digital assets, tokenization, and decentralized finance. GVC also covers cannabis, global consumer packaged goods, e-commerce, biotech, agriculture, and media and entertainment. Commercial and residential real estate developments and hospitality assets round out the firm's advisory work. GVC's investment focus emphasizes vertical integration opportunities, value chain investing, and diversification in high-growth emerging markets. The firm targets proof-of-concept and market-validated products and technology, and its broad advisory capability -- spanning structured finance and alternative assets as well as direct venture -- distinguishes it from single-mandate early-stage funds.
