Executive Coaching · Company Building · Capital
Building valuable companies
and resilient leaders.
Gannett.Partners works at the intersection of human potential and enterprise value — with founders, executives, athletes, and creators building something that matters.
The Work
Coaching without capital is advice. Capital without coaching is a bet. Company building is where both become real.
I
Coach
Mindset & Performance
Executive coaching for founders, C-suite leaders, athletes, and artists navigating the complexity of leading at scale. Our balanced approach — championing and challenging — deepens awareness, questions assumptions, and unlocks perspective.

Build
Formation & Scale
Active company building at the intersection of education, media, IP, and the creator economy. We co-found ventures from 0 to 1 — shaping vision, assembling teams, and building with co-founder-level commitment.
GP Applied Venture has launched DOC CARES, with three ventures emerging from stealth in 2026 — sports media, artist monetization, and AI.

Recent exits: SpaceX secondary (2026), Geologie (2025), Jackpocket (2024), Classy (2022), Thuzio (2021), Trade Desk IPO (2016).
Who We Serve
I
The Founder
Seed · Series A · Company Building
Beyond the early proof, now facing the decisions that define everything. You need someone who has built a company, not someone who has studied people who did.
II
The C-Suite Executive
Leadership · Performance · Transition
You have the title and the team. What you need is a confidential space to think through the decisions that don’t belong in any other room.
III
The Athlete or Artist
NIL · Brand · Legacy Building
Your platform is the asset. The question is how to build something that outlasts the performance. The creator economy has rewritten the playbook.
IV
The Investor or Family Office
Portfolio · Co-Investment · Value Creation
Coaching, advisory, and company building solutions. Co-investment opportunities where operating expertise matters as much as capital.
