Who We Are.

WindTide Capital is an investment firm focused on lower-middle market businesses in the Southeast. We partner with founders and owner-operators to build durable, scaled businesses by providing capital, expertise, and long-term perspective to take great companies to their next level. Our capital comes from family offices, meaning we are patient, relationship-driven investors with no artificial fund timelines.
