Our Firm

Est. 1984

We are a private Venture Capital Firm, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1984, the Firm focused on investing in commercial real estate developments and opportunities. Having operated under strategic anonymity for over $1 Billion in investment participation, our Firm transformed and expanded its investment philosophy. In 2010, our ownership group began the implementation of a Corporate Rebranding Strategy. This would shift real estate assets into liquid capital resources, and established its venture fund. With the venture fund having successfully entered and exited various investments, our Firm turned to establishing a more publicly recognizable brand. In 2017, our Firm officially rebranded to what we are today…

We Are Blackwater Assets.
