GHC Partners

What GHC Partners does

GHC Partners is a Sausalito, California-based growth equity investment firm founded in 2006 that provides capital to technology companies driving industrial innovation, critical infrastructure development, and supply chain resiliency. The firm applies a "venture growth" approach to scale companies connecting new technologies to traditional sectors — specifically manufacturing, energy, logistics, and construction — with the stated goal of upgrading US economic competitiveness. Its visible portfolio spans roughly 20+ companies across food and agriculture (Afresh, ProducePay, TemperPack, Revive Drinks, LumiGrow, FoodLogiQ), water (Hydropoint, 120Water), energy and grid (Windspire, ZincFive), supply-chain SaaS (Aravo), robotics and inspection (Mantis Robotics, Onsight), and life sciences (Linkage Biosciences, Impact Laboratories).

The firm is led by Founder and Managing Partner Pete Henig (20+ years of operating and investing experience) and is staffed by a small team including Senior Venture Partner Larry Kubal (founder of Labrador Ventures, named a top-100 VC), Venture Partner Punit Chiniwalla (ex-AWS Corporate Development, HPE Pathfinder, Singtel Innov8), Senior Associate Antonio Canamas (ex-Bain, OECD), and Principal Eric Desai. The firm has deployed at least three successive funds, with Fund III actively in market and co-led investments including Onsight, Impact Labs, and Mantis Robotics.

Business model is conventional private-fund economics: management fees on committed/invested capital plus carried interest on realizations. No products, services, pricing tiers, or proprietary technology platforms are sold to external customers; the firm does not publish AUM, fund sizes, or LP composition, and there is no disclosed revenue or ARR. Geographic scope is described as "global" but the headquarters and visible portfolio skew heavily toward the United States.
