Our partnerships begin long before a transaction is consummated. It begins with a deep analysis of the business, getting to know the individuals involved, and open dialogue surrounding strategic potential. This process is as much about business owners vetting Blue Sky as it is about Blue Sky reviewing an investment. If all parties believe that there is significant value in a partnership, we will work together to achieve mutually beneficial terms to achieve it.
Once we have decided to partner with a business, we purchase a majority equity stake. While we utilize the following four-stage outline as a blueprint for investments, the specific strategic plan will be mapped according to the needs and opportunities presented by the individual partnership.
