Why “7th Wave”? To seafarers, it’s widely held that the 7th wave is the largest in the set. An experienced and well-trained eye knows how to watch for, prepare and catch the 7th wave for the greatest ride possible into shore. Many entrepreneurs struggle alone in the thrashing ocean unaware of this elusive wave. We started 7th Wave Capital because we know first hand that being an entrepreneur is extremely lonely and perilous. Even if you are an experienced entrepreneur, surrounded by a solid team, it’s hard to share your vulnerabilities and find the right path forward. We have amassed some of the Maritime’s most successful, awarded and respected entrepreneurs to join 7th Wave to help guide other select, Maritime based, growth-oriented business owners. The world is changing rapidly, offering new opportunities and threats to Maritime based businesses. Our advisors all have one thing in common (besides an uncommon track record), that they all want to help grow others’ businesses in this region. Our model of taking a minority equity stake allows the entrepreneur to maintain control of their business but gain access to invaluable advice, counsel and contacts that will navigate them to clarity, new heights and profitability.
