Approach

Black Ocean identifies trends and opportunities through our global network of entrepreneurs and partners working at the forefront of technological innovation.

We look for high-growth opportunities, analyze the best way to enter a market and use our hybrid skill sets to build best-in-class businesses.

Financial and operational intelligence

In contrast to customary venture capital investors, we typically make investments in conjunction with an active operational role  and often majority interest. 

Through rigorous financial and operational analysis, we underwrite, acquire and turn around businesses that require both access to capital and operational expertise. This enables us to acquire assets and integrate teams at substantial discounts to their potential values. 

We look across the digital landscape for inefficiencies and market opportunities both at early stage investing and distressed or non-core asset sales. 

We will also make minority strategic investments with non operating roles in high growth companies with strong management teams, where it believes it can add value through its internal resources and external network. 

Resources, insights and stability to creating lasting success

Through our incubator, we turn smart ideas into successful businesses. We surround the businesses in which we invest with in-house business advisors, sales and monetization teams that incubate and accelerate growth. 

Active management for growth, game-changing solutions for the market

Through our strategic holding division, we activelly build and operate our businesses and bring them to market as independent, but complementary, technologies and platforms.
