Guiding Principles

Our approach is precise. It's straightforward. And it’s based on three guiding principles that remain at the heart of all we do:
 
 
 
Success Demands
Operating with the Highest
Level of Integrity
 
"Integrity serves as a critical building block for a successful working relationship and it is best described as doing what you say you are going to do. Granite Bridge has very clearly lived up to that definition, which is why our business relationship is so solid."



Dave Ross
CEO
The Wellness Network
Open Communications and Shared Understanding are Critical to
Effective Partnerships
 
"The Granite Bridge team took the time to truly understand the evolving nature of our business, and industry, and helped develop InterMed’s strategy. The consistent communication allowed us to work through both issues and opportunities more easily when they arose resulting in a very effective partnership."

Rick Staab
CEO
The InterMed Group
The Ability to
“Get Things Done” is a Required
Core Competency
 
"Our ambitious strategic plan demands cooperation between our management team and investment partners. Granite Bridge has made invaluable contributions to our vision for the future and is quick to leverage their strengths and assets to execute our plan."
