Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Members of Growth Capital TEI Portfolio, LLC:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
Growth Capital TEI Portfolio, LLC (the Fund) as of and for the
period ended March 31, 2011, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting,
including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related
costs of controls. A fund's internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A fund's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a fund's assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when
the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
the fund's annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting and its operation,
including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be a material weakness as defined above as of March 31, 2011.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Members of the Growth Capital TEI Portfolio, LLC
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
