7th Wave Capital sails
7th Wave Capital sets sail with some of the region’s top entrepreneurs on board
7th Wave Capital launched today with a top tier advisory board comprised of some of the Maritimes most successful, awarded and influential entrepreneurs. Founded by serial entrepreneur, Paul Leblanc, it aims to partner with growth minded, Maritime based entrepreneurs who need guidance and expertise to take their businesses to the next level. “Being an entrepreneur is often the loneliest job on earth. Should you buy a competitor, sell your business, expand your product line, change your management team or raise capital,” said LeBlanc, “By accessing a deep bench of some of the region’s top entrepreneurs to help guide them through corporate issues will not only de-risk their business but help them scale to new heights”.
The notion “7th Wave” comes from the belief of seafarers that the seventh wave is the largest in a set and the one that all surfers look to catch so they can enjoy the best ride into shore. Most entrepreneurs aren’t aware of its existence and find themselves thrashing in the ocean alone. 7th Wave helps business owners spot the wave, prepare for it and catch it so they can enjoy the best ride possible into shore.
7th Wave Capital will partner with only five businesses a year that fit their strict criteria so maximum attention can be given to each company in the portfolio. They pair the expertise of their Advisory Board to the individual and corporate needs of the portfolio company to ensure the chemistry, contacts and knowledge will all greatly benefit the business. The Advisors are all well established and are at a point in their careers where they would like to give back to the Maritimes. Their desire is to give back to, and considerably grow, the Maritime economy by pairing some of our region’s most successful entrepreneurs with high scale potential businesses. They will take a minority interest and leave the majority of the equity with the entrepreneurs in each company, so they rightfully receive the majority of the upside.
“Business owners need counsel, contacts and capital in order to reach their full potential”, said Leblanc, “and that’s why I created 7th Wave Capital to help transform good Maritime businesses into great global businesses right here from home.”
Joining the Advisory Board of 7th Wave Capital in addition to Paul LeBlanc are: Darren Nantes, Dwayne Smithers, Corey Miller and Wayne Crawley.
