About Western Skies Partners
Western Skies Partners (WSP) derives its name from the pioneering spirit of those who settled in the West, gazing at the sky for inspiration and driving westward in pursuit of prosperity. These explorers, founders, and pioneers shaped the America we know today.
Today, entrepreneurs and inventors carry the torch of modern pioneers. We firmly believe that supporting early-stage companies is pivotal for sustained growth and innovation in the U.S. economy. Western Skies specializes in identifying and investing in early-stage healthcare, life sciences, and technology innovators. We focus on recession-resilient companies led by brazen founders who understand what it takes to win.
Giving Founders the Tools to Win
We respect the struggle of the brazen early-stage operator and share their belief in a better future. By leveraging our own experience as operators, we are able to provide much more than just capital to the founders and companies we invest in. This perspective influences our engagement with a portfolio company from due diligence through a successful exit.
We have the ability to roll up our sleeves and truly work alongside our founders in many aspects of the business to overcome obstacles, drive commercial success, and achieve dreams.
