BlueWaters Investment Group

What is BlueWaters Investment Group?

BlueWaters Investment Group is a private equity firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in acquiring and investing in founder and family-owned businesses. Founded in 2013, they focus on companies operating within the media, technology, telecommunication, manufacturing, and service sectors.

Their investment approach is tailored towards businesses in the Southeastern United States, particularly those with up to $25 million in annual revenue, and is characteristic of their interest in technology, telecommunications, staffing, field tech services, and healthcare companies.

The group provides both capital investment and advisory services to ensure the future growth and success of their portfolio companies.

They are interested in minority and majority ownership positions and are distinct from traditional private equity in that they independently capitalize each investment, allowing them to hold investments long term without a predetermined exit date. This strategy aligns with their mission to support the continuity of family-owned businesses and ensure the founder's legacy remains intact.

The firm is actively involved in the day-to-day operations and long-term business strategy implementation of their portfolio companies. BlueWaters also collaborates with other private equity firms to maximize investment opportunities and strives to create mutually beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders.

Their management philosophy emphasizes hands-on value, fresh strategic perspective, sustainable business growth, and fairness to all stakeholders involved in the investment process.
