Granite Associates is the private investment company of Allan Gerry, focused on start up companies involved in telephony and communications. According to Forbes, Gerry founded Granite after selling his company, Cablevision, to Time Warner in 1996 for more than $2 billion. Gerry emerged from the deal with $600 million, which he then farmed out to various hedge funds through intermediaries like James R. Hedges IV's LJH Alternative Investment Advisors. Gerry purchased and resurrected the original 1969 Woodstock Festival site and several hundred surrounding acres. He has attracted music festivals there and is hoping to draw global tourists by transforming the historic pasture into an arts and entertainment complex that will hopefully also serve as the summer home of the New York Philharmonic.
