What Grant Avenue Capital buys
Grant Avenue Capital is a New York private equity firm, founded in 2019, that invests only in healthcare. It targets companies with $5 million to $30 million of EBITDA in four areas: healthcare services, pharma services, medical technology and healthcare IT. It looks for businesses that lower the cost of care, take on outsourced work for providers, serve health-minded consumers or help payers catch fraud and billing errors. Current holdings include physical therapy, home health and hospice, ground ambulance, home medical equipment, clinical research and EMS training companies.
It is flexible on structure: founder recapitalizations, majority buyouts, minority stakes and corporate carve-outs, often followed by a buy-and-build plan run with executives from its Grant Accelerator network. The firm counts more than 50 transactions and over 7,400 employees across its companies. A smaller provider is most likely to meet Grant Avenue as an add-on, the way Texas medical transport company Superior Mobile Health partnered with PatientCare EMS in June 2026.

Greymont’s take
How Grant Avenue Capital fits a seller
Grant Avenue fits owners of lower middle market healthcare businesses, especially founders who want to keep a stake. Its home page names founder recapitalizations as a core structure, and its approach page says it agrees on exit plans with management. Its 2026 deals show its range: a ground ambulance operator, a supplement maker and a school that trains EMS workers. After closing it brings in executives from its Grant Accelerator program to lead add-on acquisitions, new service lines and new locations.
Owners should ask early whether the firm wants a majority or a minority stake, since it does both, and what that means for board control and future decisions. The firm does not publish fund sizes, so it is also fair to ask which fund the money would come from and how long Grant Avenue expects to own the business.
Questions owners ask
What size companies does Grant Avenue Capital invest in?
Its strategy page says it targets healthcare companies with $5 million to $30 million of EBITDA. It does not publish a revenue range or a typical check size.
Does Grant Avenue Capital only invest in healthcare?
Yes. Every current holding is tied to healthcare, from physical therapy and hospice to ambulance services, home medical equipment and clinical research. Its 2026 deals added a vitamin and supplement maker and a school that trains emergency medical services workers.
Will Grant Avenue Capital take a minority stake?
Yes. Its home page lists minority investments alongside founder recapitalizations, majority buyouts and corporate carve-outs, so an owner who wants to keep control can still talk to the firm.
