The investment firm was founded in 2008 by Gary M. Holloway to serve as the middle market investment subsidiary of GMH Associates, Inc. Led by Michael Holloway and Dennis O'Leary, the firm actively manages portfolio companies and oversees growth trajectories of its investments. GMH Ventures' strategy is to create long-lasting relationships and sustainable businesses in various industries, with a focus on manufacturing, distribution, and service sectors. The firm aims to invest in high caliber people with stable or disruptive business platforms to achieve exceptional returns on the assets managed by its family office. GMH Ventures' diversification strategy has been successful, as seen from a liquidity event in 2008 when GMH Communities Trust (GCT) was the largest owner and operator of domestic off-campus student housing.
