Grafine Partners, a New York based private equity GP-stakes firm led by Elizabeth Weymouth, has secured a $200 million commitment to its inaugural fund from Houston-based investment firm CAZ Investments.
Grafine was formed in 2019 to meet the needs of sophisticated investors seeking “new and innovative approaches to invest private capital across sectors, geographies and capital structures”. The firm partners with experienced private market investors in establishing new firms, accelerating their growth and institutionalising their businesses and says it provides investors with direct access to de-risked, differentiated off-market opportunities.
RedBird Capital Partners (RedBird), a private investment firm focused on building high-growth companies with flexible, long-term capital, was an early backer of Grafine.
