BlueSky Capital specializes in identifying and nurturing lower middle market operating companies, typically with revenues under $50M. These businesses are the lifeblood of the economy and are often family- owned or founder-led with no succession plan. These special situations create an opportunity to acquire great businesses, and then take a hands- on approach to drive value while preserving the unique character and strengths that define their success.
At BlueSky Capital, we are driven by the belief that the most transformative innovations come from visionary founders with bold ideas. We invest in those who have the foresight and ambition to reshape industries and capture a significant market share. Our focus is on early- stage technology startups that address large, scalable markets. At BlueSky, we don’t just invest in startups; we invest in the future they are creating.
At BlueSky Capital, we recognize the enduring value of real estate, a cornerstone of the American economy. Our investments focus on strategic properties within the industrial sector and a select class of multi- family housing. Both sectors offer increasingly rare opportunities due to zoning laws, which enhances their potential for value retention and growth.
