Grumman Hill

Overview

Grumman Hill is a family office established in 1985, focusing on private equity investments in small to mid-market companies. The firm provides growth capital to businesses with outstanding leadership and strong growth potential, aiming to expand these companies materially and deliver strong returns to investors. Grumman Hill typically invests on an individual deal basis, with investments ranging from $2 million to $20 million for up to 50% of a company's shares. Target companies generally earn over $1 million in EBITDA, though the firm occasionally participates in venture deals with experienced management in highly scalable, high-growth businesses. The firm's investment approach emphasizes value creation without relying on leverage or other techniques to produce returns. Once an investment is made, Grumman Hill does not become operationally involved in day-to-day management but participates in board meetings and provides advice and support to CEOs regularly. These relationships often extend well beyond the initial company investment. Grumman Hill's leadership includes James T. Kelsey, Managing Member, and James T. Bunch, Managing Member. Both have extensive experience in investment and operational roles, with backgrounds in investment banking, corporate law, and corporate finance.
