Good investments are not limited to what trades on a stock exchange.
Private businesses and real estate create a large share of the value in the real economy, but investing in them has traditionally meant high minimums, fragmented paperwork, limited access, and poor visibility after the investment is made.
Gaia brings discovery, investor verification, offering information, documents, investment activity, and portfolio reporting into one platform.
Gaia was built by people who already understand real asset investment.
Primior was founded in 2012 and grew from construction into real estate development, asset management, private investing, finance, and technology. Gaia grew out of that experience. Primior serves as Gaia’s founding real estate asset manager and strategic partner, contributing underwriting, asset diligence, sponsor vetting, and operating experience to the platform.
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FIRST
The platform starts with the business, property, sponsor, economics, and investment structure. The technology comes after that.
ONE PLACE TO MANAGE THE INVESTMENT
Gaia combines opportunity discovery, eligibility checks, documents, investment records, reporting, communications, and portfolio information in one account.
The people behind Gaia bring experience in investing, real estate, finance, and operations.
Gaia is backed by Primior’s leadership team and the experience the firm has built across real estate, private equity, development, asset management, lending, and technology.
