Granite Hill Capital Partners is a venture capital firm based in San Francisco, founded in 2007. The firm specializes in early-stage investments in enterprise technology companies across North America and India, managing separate vehicles for each market. Granite Hill partners with well-known investors, participating in rounds alongside names like Data Collective DCVC, Tiger Global Management and Third Point Ventures. With an average check size between $10 million and $50 million, the team seeks startups that are two to three years old and poised for rapid growth.
The firm’s primary investment focus covers cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data and financial technology. They invest in companies at the Series A and B stages, often leading or co-leading rounds that emphasize scalable enterprise solutions. They favor solutions that integrate with existing enterprise workflows and address emerging security and data challenges. North American deals run in parallel with an India-focused fund dedicated to housing and agriculture finance businesses. Granite Hill typically completes fewer than two new investments per year, emphasizing selective engagement and long-term support for portfolio companies as they advance through growth milestones. Notable portfolio companies include SentinelOne, Palantir, Airspace Systems and Tamr.
In addition to digital enterprise technology, Granite Hill’s portfolio includes a notable clean technology investment in India-based Attero Recycling, which operates electronic waste reuse and recycling facilities to reduce environmental impact. Beyond Attero, the firm’s publicly disclosed investments do not feature companies dedicated to battery manufacturing or advanced energy storage. Granite Hill remains focused on software-driven innovation, though its contribution to sustainable e-waste management highlights a willingness to support environmental solutions where opportunities align with its core expertise.
