PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Graphene Ventures
Graphene Ventures is a venture capital firm that focuses on early and growth stage tech companies in enterprise software,consumer technology, health tech, fintech and blockchain technologies
Graphite Capital
We are an independent partnership with a highly stable and experienced team. Since the early 1990s, we have backed management teams in more than 100 companies across a wide range of sectors, making us one of the most experienced investors in mid-sized businesses in the UK.
<br />
<br />
In 2018 we raised over £500 million for Graphite Capital Partners IX, remaining committed to the mid-market and focusing on companies valued at between £30 million and £150 million. We believe companies of this size offer the highest potential returns to investors, as they are small enough to grow fast but have sufficient scale to employ high-quality management teams and generate diversified revenues.
<br />
<br />
The relative attractiveness of different sectors will ebb and flow with economic cycles and changes in technology, consumer preferences, distribution methods and government policy. We a have a very strong track record in; Business Services, Health & Care, Education, Technology, the Consumer Sector, Industrials and Financial Services.
<br />
<br />
Our senior management team has worked together for over 15 years and most have been at Graphite for over 20 years. We operate as a genuine partnership, with ownership and incentives broadly spread across the team, promoting stability and a strong, cohesive ethos. We enjoy what we do and like working together in an informal environment, taking collective responsibility for our decisions. We believe this comes across in our dealings with portfolio companies and plays a very important role in building strong partnerships with their management teams.
<br />
<br />
As we typically only make two or three investments a year, backing the right management teams has been key to our success. We review large numbers of opportunities and prioritise those where we can build a strong relationship with management and where we see angles to add value. If you would like to discuss an opportunity, please get in contact https://www.graphitecapital.com/contact

Graycliff Partners

Our model is a little different than the typical private equity firm. We invest as shareholders, lenders, or sometimes a combination of the two. However, our investment focus remains the same for every deal: lower middle market companies primarily in the United States, typically in niche manufacturing, business services, and value-added distribution.
