Gaston Capital is a US private investment firm established in 2006, operating from Charlotte and Belmont, North Carolina. Its own releases identify the manager as Gaston Capital, LLC. It makes minority growth-equity investments and can invest alone or alongside other investors, focusing on healthcare, SaaS, business and financial services, and light industry. Published investment-size and EBITDA criteria are targets, not fund commitments or executed tickets. Neuroscience and deep-technology relevance is supported by NeuroVision Imaging’s current institutional investor disclosure, the manager’s behavioural-health pharmacy investment history, and its portfolio of drug-development, orthopaedic-device and mobility-technology companies; this does not imply that every portfolio business develops AI. The current manager site names founder Michael K. (Mick) McMahan, managing partner Glenn Walthall, partner Don McCaughey and Kyle Radavich. Its dated April2024 announcement establishes Walthall’s promotion from CIO. Kyle’s own newer public profile names Roan Equity, so his Gaston senior-associate affiliation is qualified as last confirmed March2025; the newer affiliation does not alone prove an exact departure or exclude concurrent roles rather than asserted current payroll. SEC2017 filings separately establish the historical president/COO affiliation of David K. Robb, who is not in the current manager roster. Sources identify distinct legal investment vehicles: Gaston Capital Healthcare Fund LLC, Gaston Capital Fund V LLC, Gaston Capital Income Fund II LLC formerly Gaston Capital Fund VI LLC, The William Gaston Fund LLC and The William Gaston Income Fund LLC. The Healthcare Fund’s latest public FormD amendment, signed February1,2019, reports USD12296053 actually sold against a USD50million offering target, with first sale March31,2017. This cumulative amount sold is not a verified final fund close; the target is excluded and the exact closing day remains NULL. Other legal vehicles have undisclosed verified closing amounts and dates. The 2026 North Carolina court opinion confirms their literal legal names and FundVI/IncomeII continuity; being co-plaintiffs does not establish equal pooled-fund structures or legal management contracts for every vehicle. Gaston Capital Partners LLLP and MKM&Company are separately named affiliated companies, not automatically additional LP funds or interchangeable contracting payers. Litigation allegations about aggregate biomedical loans are not treated as verified new fundraising or investor tickets. No registered fund closing is inferred from the manager’s USD2–10million deal-size criteria or a partner’s career capital-raising experience.
