Grays Peak Capital LP

What Grays Peak Capital LP does

Grays Peak Capital LP is a privately held global alternative investment manager founded in 2014 by Scott Stevens and headquartered in New York City, with additional offices in Los Angeles and Geneva. The firm invests across public and private markets on behalf of high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors through four core strategies: Grays Peak Ventures (early-stage venture capital in FinTech, marketplaces, enterprise software, and infrastructure), Private Equity (control and growth investments with operating support), Grays Peak Realty Partners (opportunistic real estate across multi-family, industrial warehouse, and self-storage), and Grays Peak Private Credit (private credit strategies including the $500M Grays Peak Private Credit II / GPPC GovCon fund targeting government and defense contractors, and the Impact Credit Fund dedicated to nonprofit lending). The firm positions a "technology-integrated investment platform" and a network of operating partners across verticals (contract manufacturing, e-commerce, branding, marketing) as the foundation of its sourcing and diligence approach.

The business model is standard for an alternative asset manager: revenue derives from management fees on committed and deployed capital across multiple fund vintages and strategies, plus carried interest on investment performance. Distribution is direct, through the firm's investor relations function, targeting qualified investors globally. The firm manages a portfolio that has produced five successful public-market listings (Lemonade Inc. on NYSE in July 2020; COMPASS Pathways on NASDAQ in September 2020; Hydrofarm Holdings on NASDAQ in December 2020, plus two prior listings), and has built a parallel industrial platform via joint acquisitions with Valore Ventures in storage, workplace, and warehouse automation (McMurray Stern acquired 2018, Spacesaver Interiors acquired 2022, SencorpWhite acquired 2025, Tompkins Solutions/MSI Automate combination 2025).

The team is intentionally lean at 1-10 employees and is anchored by partners with pedigree at Coatue Capital, SAC Capital, JAT Capital, Invesco Credit Partners, WL Ross, Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, White & Case, and the White House Senior Executive Service, supplemented by two retired U.S. Army Special Forces partners supporting the firm's defense and national security thesis. Marketing and LP outreach rely on the firm's website, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, video channels, email newsletter, and executive media appearances on CNBC/CNN.
