Investment Focus
Grumman Hill managed private equity funds in the 1980’s and
1990’s. Today we are a family office group with nearly a
quarter century of professional investment and operational
expertise. We invest our capital directly and are also
backed by other high net worth families and individuals.
This approach provides us with a longer-term perspective
than traditional private equity firms as well as greater
transparency and flexibility. Other key investment criteria
can be summarized as follows:
- We invest on an individual deal by deal basis.
- Typical investments range from $2
million in equity to $20 million for up to 50% of a
company’s shares.
- Target companies earn over $1M in
EBITDA; however we occasionally participate in venture
deals with experienced management, in highly
scalable/high growth businesses.
- Our focus is value creation in
the traditional sense; we do not require leverage or
other techniques in order to produce returns.
Once we choose to invest in a firm we do not become
operationally involved in day-to-day management.
Instead we participate in board meetings and
typically provide advice and support to our CEOs on
a regular basis. These
relationships often extend well beyond the initial
company investment.
