America has believed that in
differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of
progress. It acted on this belief; it has advanced human
happiness, and it has prospered.

THE GRANITE DIFFERENCE
Granite’s “equity” is different. Our
investors are
successful entrepreneurs and executives. They have
seen businesses transition across generations and successive ownership groups.
With experience across dozens of industries, they collectively have more than a
thousand years of relevant experience, and they manage or have managed private companies with around $3
billion in total revenues. Our investors help to give us home-field
advantage.
GRANITE GOVERNANCE
We bring a unique approach to
the Board of Directors. Partnering with
management teams, we often bring a seasoned executive to serve as the Board Chair and colleague
of the
CEO. One of our Partners also joins the Board, and, as a
colleague of the CFO, brings significant strategic and
analytical skills.
GRANITE BENEFITS
People are the primary drivers for increasing
revenue, earnings, and equity value. Believing this, we look proactively at a company’s benefits, training programs,
and incentives systems, bringing innovative tools and resources
as investments in human capital. We believe in equity-based
compensation for the management team.
GRANITE RELATIONSHIPS
We have seen the power of teamwork in growing a company. The
Board, the executives, and the employees are instrumental
members of the team, as are vendors and customers. We have broad and deep relationships with
professional service firms – accountants, attorneys, tax advisors,
strategy consultants, systems experts, insurance agents,
executive search firms, and the like – that can also help make
a positive difference for our portfolio companies.
