Gryphon Investors

Gryphon Investors is a San Francisco-based middle market private equity firm that operates three dedicated investment strategies — Flagship, Heritage, and Junior Capital — each with its own team and fund, targeting companies across five core sectors: Business Services, Consumer Products and Services, Healthcare, Industrial Growth, and Software and Technology Solutions. The Flagship and Heritage strategies pursue control-oriented buyouts, leveraged build-ups, and growth equity investments in companies with EBITDA up to $80 million and equity commitments of $50 million to $500 million, while the Junior Capital strategy provides non-lead, minority mezzanine and preferred equity positions alongside buyout transactions in companies with EBITDA up to $80 million. Gryphon pursues management buyouts, leveraged buyouts, management buyings, divestitures, recapitalizations, secondary buyouts, and stake purchases, seeking majority control positions through its flagship strategies and non-controlling positions through its Junior Capital strategy. The firm invests in businesses headquartered in North America. Gryphon's integrated model embeds former C-suite executives and functional specialists within its deal teams, partnering with management through thesis-driven, proactive sector initiatives to identify opportunities for strategic and operational enhancement rather than relying on financial engineering. Founded in 1995, the firm is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States.
