David Kroin, Co-Founder and Managing Director, added, "We see this success as a clear endorsement by our investors of our growth buy-out and growth recapitalization investing model, pro-active sourcing strategy and deep health care expertise."
GPP III's Limited Partners include leading endowments, foundations, family offices, banks and pension funds. The investment professionals and CEO Advisory Board at Great Point made a significant personal commitment to GPP III, approximately 8% of GPP III's committed capital.
