Many coach. Some build. Few invest. Almost none do all three by design.

Entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and creators come to Gannett.Partners at inflection points. Founded by award-winning operator Chris Gannett — former CMO at American Idol through its $500M+ sale, with prior operating roles at Sony Music, Elvis Presley Enterprises, and Muhammad Ali Enterprises — we meet them there with executive coaching, company building, and capital working as a single continuous platform, not separate engagements.

We've sat in the seat. That shapes every conversation, every build, every check. Our model is upstream by design. Intensive, evidence-based coaching sharpens decision-making and operational discipline — and that work directly informs how, when, and with whom we choose to co-build and invest.

Education, media, IP, sport, and the creator economy are converging into a $12 trillion opportunity. We coach, build, and invest at that intersection. Our Applied Ventures platform has launched two co-built companies — including DOC CARES, founded with Tracy "The D.O.C." Curry, Death Row Records co-founder and Grammy Lifetime Achievement recipient — with two more emerging from stealth in 2026.

650%+ three-year CAGR. Profitable from month one. 10 countries. 15 industries. 98 NPS. 

If you're building something worth building, we'd like to hear about it.
