About Us
Gorilla Capital is a constantly evolving, privately-held investment fund which focuses on revitalizing neighborhoods through the acquisitions and renovation of distressed real estate. Yes, that was a mouthful, and possibly confusing. Let’s break it down: In 2006 Gorilla Capital was founded and initially started out purchasing non-judicial foreclosures in just one Oregon county. These homes received minor improvements and cleanups and were sold at wholesale prices. Fast-forward 18 years: Gorilla Capital currently operates in over 10 states, purchases properties through a multitude of channels including foreclosure sales, REOs, short sales, estate sales, and traditional open market purchases. These properties then undergo a remodel to bring them up to the standards of today’s home buyers and to make the properties financeable for purchase.
​
Headquartered out of Eugene, Oregon, Gorilla Capital employs over 10 full time employees who work in sales, marketing, and accounting departments. We have corporate operations in Oregon and Idaho, and operate via our fix & flip affiliates in the rest of the states and markets.
The Giving Gorilla
Our business is built around revitalizing communities, and we care deeply about leaving a positive impact. Therefore we wanted to come up with a community philanthropy program to give back to our communities in a way that resonates with our employees. As a result, in 2016, The Giving Gorilla was born.
Each month Gorilla Capital will make a monetary donation to 1-2 charities, organizations, or programs nominated by our employees. We will donate up to $5,000 each calendar year to employee chosen programs. We left the definition of “community” up to the individual employees to interpret for themselves; they may consider their community to be the world, the nation, the state, or their local neighborhood. To date we have supported over 60 deserving organizations through The Giving Gorilla program.
