Gryphon Networks, a leading provider of sales performance management and compliance software, announces a strategic investment from Sverica Capital Management LP (“Sverica”), a private equity investment firm based in San Francisco, California and Boston, Massachusetts.
Gryphon offers an enterprise-grade telephony platform that automatically screens, collects, and analyzes phone-based sales activity data from any device to transform activity into accurate, actionable sales insight that drives improved sales performance for many of the country’s top consumer-facing companies. Purpose-built for organizations with large, distributed sales teams, Gryphon’s system enables agents to use the platform from any type of phone and gives managers access to robust analytics merging activity to desired outcomes. Executives rely on Gryphon to ensure that sales efforts accurately align with forecasts and comply with marketing privacy regulations.
Sverica’s investment aims to help Gryphon accelerate development of new sales performance management functionality and expand around its strong team to maintain high satisfaction among Gryphon’s loyal customers while meeting increased demand.
“Gryphon has independently developed into a significant player in the sales performance management industry,” said Jeff Fotta, CEO of Gryphon. “We are looking forward to entering a new phase of growth and broadening our award-winning sales intelligence platform. Sverica will provide the essential direction and resources for Gryphon to continuously add strategic value for our customers.”

We have been impressed with the results they have driven for their customers and are looking forward to partnering with management, building on their success and creating a company that has the potential to lead the category,” said Jordan Richards, Managing Partner at Sverica.
Ryan Harstad, Partner at Sverica, added “Gryphon addresses key challenges facing sales executives today, namely capturing sales activity that is not simply self-reported, connecting activity to results, and protecting their brands with compliant communications. We are excited to collaborate with Jeff and the Gryphon team to drive ROI for Gryphon’s growing base of customers.”
Canaccord Genuity acted as exclusive financial advisor to Gryphon Networks in connection with the transaction.
