Description
BWC has always invested in expansion stage information technology companies, requiring that prospective investments be profitable and have at least $2 million in prior year revenue. Blue Water Capital places great weight on management's long-term vision and ability to execute its plans. One of the key tenets of BWC's investment philosophy is that by having a longer term investment horizon (5-7 years), Blue Water portfolio companies will have greater opportunities for successful exits.Upon investing in a company, the entire Blue Water Capital team, including its principals and staff, become readily accessible to the company's management team. In effect, BWC becomes an extension of the management team. In the past, we have helped our portfolio companies plan strategic directions, recruit top-level executives, recruit technical personnel, develop and execute merger and acquisition strategies, meet key customers and partners, and raise additional equity and debt capital. We have also provided our companies with introductions to investment bankers, analysts and underwriters in anticipation of planned public offerings or merger and acquisitions activity.The capital that we provide to our portfolio companies is essential for growth. Yet it is the broad experience of our investment team and the access to BWC's network of industry contacts (investment banks, industry analysts, lawyers, accountants, venture capital firms and institutional investors) and links to prospective customers that are the most valuable contributions we make to our portfolio companies.
