28 Years of Exceptional Growth
For nearly three decades, Gryphon Investors has supported management teams in achieving transformational growth and returns.
Our industry-focused investment teams include finance professionals, former C-suite executives, and functional specialists in a distinctive, integrated model that is purpose-built around the real needs of middle-market management teams. Further, each of our three investment strategies—Flagship, Heritage, and Junior Capital—has its own dedicated teams and funds.
The engine of this model—and a core component of Gryphon’s competitive edge—is our inclusive, no-ego culture of collaboration. With integrity and transparency, our investment and operating professionals work hand-in-hand to support management teams as they build enduring businesses.
