Investment thesis
Edgewater Funds invests in high-quality middle-market companies, aiming to add substantial value through its capital, operating experience, and broad network. The firm frequently backs profitable growth companies that are not actively seeking capital, drawing them into partnership through Edgewater's demonstrated ability to accelerate growth. It structures both minority growth equity and buyout investments tailored to each situation. A distinguishing feature is the depth of its team's operating experience, with partners who have been successful CEOs and business leaders, supported by an Executive Advisory Board of prominent business and financial figures.
