"Normally venture capital investors' major role is to provide funds for supporting ventures. GCP, particularly Osawa-san, has played a key role not only continuously investing AMEC but also helping position AMEC in the semiconductor market. Osawa-san helped us to invite the most reputable industry executives on our board and advisory board, to communicate with customer top executives and government officials, and to develop close relations with customers."

"I have known Kamran for last twenty-three years, and had the privilege of co-founding NeoMagic with him. His enthusiam and entrepreneurial spirit have been very contagious, and a guiding light for me. When we were raising money for iKoa Corp, GCP was our first choice as not only Kamran but the rest of the GCP team, and especially Koji, over the years have demonstrated their strategic value for partnering with them. GCP has opened many doors for us in Japan, China, and Korea with potential customers, suppliers, and other partners. They are trusted and strategic investors for iKoa."

"I've had the pleasure to work with Kamran and the GCP team since Actelis was founded. All along, my company and I have enjoyed the support, guidance and vast operational experience of Kamran and the team on almost every front, from financial support and leadership in good times and in difficult times, help in recruiting senior people, introductions to high level contacts with customers and partners, to personal coaching with Kamran. GCP and the team feature a unique combination of individuals with global experience who have a vast network of powerful contacts and operate in a non-formal entrepreneurial fashion that encourages openness and innovation, and who would save no effort to help their companies achieve their goals. Working with GCP has had a major role in my company's success. I highly recommend GCP to any entrepreneur."

"I have known Kamran Elahian for well over twenty years, have had the pleasure of working with Koji Osawa for over ten years, and met Vijay Parikh through Series A investment process for Beceem. GCP has brought to Beceem a unique combination of entrepreneurship, vision and experience through Kamran, wireless semiconductor operational experience through Vijay, and an amazing array of customer contacts through Koji, especially in Japan. Just as importantly, the GCP team has been very active in introducing new investors to Beceem when the company decided to raise additional funds. I can say with certainty that much of our company success can be attributed to GCP's support for Beceem."
