Our Story
2008
After 23 years at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, Bill Gurtin founded Gurtin Municipal Bond Management in 2008. The firm sold to PIMCO in January 2019 after reaching $14 Billion AUM and growing to $20 Billion AUM upon sale completion.
2013
Grant Gurtin launched Fanium Fantasy Football, the first ever all-mobile fantasy football app, later sold to CBS Sports. This success opened the door to investing in technology startups through the Gurtin family office.
2017
We formalized our venture investing by founding Gurtin Ventures alongside Erik Davidson. Over the past six years, we’ve invested in over 35 businesses, refining our model for future LP-backed funds.
2023
We strengthened our team with Alan Trice, a former partner at GMBM, bringing a varied and complementary skill set. Our scalable process aims to provide exceptional "risk-adjusted" returns, and our expanded family is ready to grow the Gurtin name in venture capital."
