About ClaytonJames CAPITAL
Clayton James Capital was founded in Spring 2025 by entrepreneur James Gulli, leveraging years of hands-on business experience—including launching Gulli Lawn at age 12 and feverishly growing it until he sold it in fall 2024. With Clayton James Capital, James brings together operational grit and strategic insight to partner with founder-operators in three core areas:
-
Targeting $1–10 million acquisitions of multifamily and small commercial assets, with a goal of driving 15–25 percent IRRs through disciplined renovations and market repositioning.
-
Focusing on niche, cash-flow-stable companies generating $500 thousand to $5 million in annual revenue, where hands-on operational support can unlock rapid growth.
-
Value investing using quantitative modeling, and dcf analysis
From proprietary deal sourcing and local market intelligence to thorough financial and operational underwriting, Clayton James Capital blends rigorous analysis with “roll-up-your-sleeves” execution. James and his growing team are actively building a pipeline of off-market opportunities in Wilmington, Miami, and select Sun-Belt markets.
As a newly launched private equity platform, Clayton James Capital is currently raising its initial equity round and seeking strategic partners. Investors who share the vision of driving community impact and delivering strong risk-adjusted returns are invited to connect for a conversation about the firm’s detailed investment criteria, projected deal flow, and partnership structure.
