WJ Partners does not invest in real estate, high-tech start-ups, early stage companies without a proven track record of profitability, or operational turnarounds. We do, however, consider investing in companies requiring an equity infusion due to excessive leverage.
When WJ Partners says they focus on long term value creation, they mean it. They never pushed for short term fixes and let myself and the leadership team come up with and work on long term plans and solutions to profitably grow the business. They offered support and connections for area expertise as needed.
