GHC was founded to fill a gap in the traditional PE/VC investment model. There are many businesses - stable, profitable, productive - that will never attract huge investor dollars. That doesn't mean they aren't a great investment. We believe finding the right middle market companies to transition and operate is way more fulfilling than taking on the over-funded startups that are more likely to crash and burn than take off into the stratosphere. If you're ready to realize the value of all the hard work and sweat equity you have invested over the years, we're here to provide liquidity options and ensure the future of your business is bright.
