What started in 1996 as a boutique venture firm, connected us with amazing entrepreneurs, venture funds, F500 venture groups and acquisition teams, angels, incubators, universities, and family offices. In 2001, we served as advisors to help launch the McCombs Venture Fellows program at the University of Texas at Austin and simultaneously started building the G51 Venture Scholars Program, a university MBA network to teach students about entrepreneurship, venture capital, and private equity. Our culture is driven to add value to humanity by balancing profit with impact and we are passionate about enabling human prosperity. Today, G51 is a thought leadership group that helps accelerate the speed of innovation and collaboration for corporations, startups, universities, and students through our initiatives: G51 EDU, G51 Venture Scholars, and G51 Studio.
