Verix adds senior investment talent to back the next generation of national security platforms

Verix Equity Partners, a lower middle market private equity firm focused on national security, announced today that Graham Kantor has joined the firm as a principal on the investment team. Kantor brings deep industry experience building national security companies and partnering with founder-led businesses and has worked alongside Verix Managing Partners Jeff Hart and Sean Battle for more than six years.

“Bringing Graham on is an important milestone alongside the founding of Verix,” said Jeff Hart and Sean Battle, managing partners of Verix. “Having worked with Graham for more than six years, we know firsthand the rigor, judgment, and founder-first approach he brings to every partnership. His experience and values are highly aligned with Verix’s mission, and we are excited for the role he will play as we continue to back exceptional companies across the national security ecosystem.”

“Verix was built around a clear belief: Founders advancing our most important national priorities deserve partners who bring more than capital,” said Graham Kantor. “I am excited to join Jeff, Sean, and the broader Verix team as we continue to partner with innovative companies across the national security ecosystem and help them scale with purpose.”
