As entrepreneurs and principals in our own enterprise ventures, we have experienced firsthand the challenges that small to medium-sized businesses face in attracting equity and debt financing in a capital market biased toward large institutional transactions.We engage on a daily basis with a diverse network of institutional investors, venture capitalists, family offices, and high net worth individuals. We typically co-invest alongside our capital partners into venture and early stage companies, real estate and commercial paper assets. We focus on opportunities that have substantial upside potential, tangible downside protection, and where our relationships, cross-functional skill sets and strategic input with management will create value and maximize returns for all investors.Watermen Capital is a merchant banking and advisory firm that invests directly in, and provides strategic consulting services to, middle market companies and real estate ventures in the United States.
