About Us
Where capital meets craftsmanship.
GILD Ventures is a Los Angeles–based private credit fund targeting returns of 9–10% through debt investments, leveraging an established network of top-tier homebuilders.
The Fund sources and manages real estate loans directly — financing experienced developers with strong equity positions, deep market knowledge, and proven execution. By lending to repeat borrowers in supply-constrained, high-value Los Angeles neighborhoods, GILD provides institutional-quality credit with boutique speed and alignment.
Led by founder George Sears, who has originated nearly $2B in construction loans, GILD combines institutional discipline with a hands-on approach — offering investors a secure, transparent, and scalable platform for real estate credit.
