About Alan Gerry

Alan Gerry started building a cable TV network in upstate New York in 1956.

It became Cablevision Industries, which at its peak had 64 cable systems in 18 states.

Gerry sold Cablevision Industries to Time Warner in 1996 for a reported $2.7 billion; he pocketed an estimated $900 million.

He used that money to start own venture capital firm, Granite Associates, in 1996 to invest in emerging communications technologies.

After a 17-year absence from cable, Gerry joined the advisory board of BCI Broadband in 2013.
