Background

Chris Michael Grattan is a long-tenured securities industry professional based in California. According to FINRA BrokerCheck (CRD #2903668), he entered the industry on June 29, 1998 and has more than 25 years of experience. He passed his qualifying exams in 1998 — the Series 24 (General Securities Principal, Feb 1998), Series 7 (General Securities Representative, June 1998), and Series 63 (Uniform Securities Agent State Law, Sept 1998) — and later completed the SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) in October 2018. His BrokerCheck record shows no disclosures (no regulatory, customer-dispute, or disciplinary events).

He began his career at Grattan Financial Securities, Inc. in San Gabriel, California, where he was registered from June 1998 to August 2004. Grattan Financial appears to be a family-associated financial business (related entities such as Grattan Financial Securities, Inc. and Grattan Financial Strategies, Inc. appear in FINRA/SEC records, with another family member, Daniel Vincent Grattan, tied to Grattan Financial Strategies).

Since August 23, 2004, Grattan has been a registered representative of B.B. Graham & Company, Inc. (Firm CRD #41533; SEC BD #49477, IA #106968), operating from a San Gabriel, CA branch. B.B. Graham & Co. is an independent broker/dealer and investment-advisory firm headquartered at 1700 W. Katella Ave., Orange, CA, that supports independent financial advisors with a range of business models (commission, fee-based advisory, direct insurance/securities sales, and hybrid arrangements). Public reporting indicates the firm was founded by Bruce Graham in 1997. His investor-list email ([hidden]) corresponds to this firm.

Note: The source data that seeded this profile labels Grattan as an "Angel Investor" focused on "Seed" rounds. That characterization could not be independently corroborated through primary public sources — his verifiable public footprint is as a licensed broker-dealer and investment-advisory representative rather than as a documented startup angel.

Investment Thesis & Focus

  • Per the source investor listing: positions himself as an angel investor participating in seed-stage rounds.
  • No publicly stated thesis, check size, sector focus, or target-company profile could be located from primary sources.
  • Professionally, his verifiable activity is in securities brokerage and investment advisory (Series 7/24/63; general securities representative and principal), which centers on individual client investment/advisory relationships rather than published venture criteria.

Notable Investments

  • No specific startup or portfolio-company investments attributable to Chris Grattan could be verified through public sources (Crunchbase, press, or firm materials). This section is intentionally left without entries rather than populated with unverified names.
