About

PURPOSE & EXPERTISE
Solutions to Direct investing

OceanBridge is a Private Equity Investment Firm generally focused on the industrial manufacturing and commercial services industries. OceanBridge also provides bespoke advisory services in selected situations.

We are first and foremost principals and we partner with institutional investors, family offices, corporations and management teams to provide industry perspective, private equity investment skills, and fiduciary transparency. We look to source unique opportunities and solutions that will result in significant value creation. Our approach is aimed at providing capital flexibility, alignment of Investors and Managers interests and complete transparency for our investing partners.

We often work with global industrial companies, partnering with them in reviewing acquisition opportunities that contain a business segment of the target company that may either not be of interest or cannot be acquired, due to competition authority conflicts.  In these instances OceanBridge will provide a backstop offer for the undesired business segment.  Additionally, we work with mid-size family owned companies that are facing generational ownership changes or staged exits for existing investors.  Our structure allows us to easily accommodate a seller retaining a stake in the acquired company and provides the ability to hold the investment for much longer periods, than a traditional private equity fund will.  Consequently, we avoid the inherent conflicts between investors and fund managers due to dynamics of the fund raising cycle.

Our reach and activities encompass North America (USA, Mexico and Canada) and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom.
