"I can’t imagine having a better partner than Windjammer as we’ve worked to grow and build value at AI. They’ve been consistent in their support, whether for investments in people and infrastructure to achieve our strategic growth initiatives, or the engagement of outside resources where necessary. In every case they are open, constructive and disciplined in their approach to helping us achieve our collectively defined strategic objectives."
Byron Selman CEO, Advanced Instruments
"Windjammer approached VRC directly and impressed me with their deep understanding of our market and business. They backed VRC's team to aggressively pursue growth and supported us with capital, advice as well as operating and strategic resources to build the infrastructure for growth. Collectively, we developed a well-defined cadence for operations and acquisitions that enabled us to grow revenue by multiples and transform our business into a national player in our market."

With the speed at which business moves today, you need a seasoned partner and adviser at your side – one who knows your industry, is readily accessible and capable of giving straightforward and independent support and advice."
