Proven Experience. Unlocking Value.

We leverage our extensive experience to provide value through:

  • Understanding the diverse set of trends transforming our industries.
  • Anticipating and proactively addressing the rapid changes that are common to these sectors.
  • Capitalizing on a large and talented investment team, each with deep expertise and personal relationships in the wireless, broadband, media and enterprise information technology sectors.
  • Leveraging this network of business and technical relationships to provide our portfolio companies valuable advice, insight, and executive level access.
  • Building a large and synergistic portfolio of companies that collectively yields greater understanding of, and more extensive relationships in, our core markets.

I view Columbia Capital as much more than an investor. They are a business partner. Columbia understands the communications market and has developed extensive relationships with executives throughout the industry’s ecosystem. Their domain expertise and industry relationships have been an important part of the success I have had with them."
