# Camwood
At Camwood, we look for teams and individuals that we can get behind who share our mindset. We know how special it is to meet a team that you believe in, and have learned many times over that companies flourish because of the teams driving them. We are investors, operators, builders, and entrepreneurs who know a thing or two about grinding it out and trusting the process. There are no shortcuts. Our long-term approach has been, and will always remain, a refreshingly common-sense crusade for simplicity.
# who we are
The Camwood Group is an investment firm comprised of two overarching divisions: Camwood Capital Group (“CCG”) and Camwood Ventures (“CV”). CCG is an operationally focused buyout firm with decades of experience operating and scaling proven EBITDA businesses in the broader industrial sector, and specifically precision manufacturing and highly-engineered products. CV is our venture capital division, focused on opportunistic investing in early-stage growth companies where we—as a strategic partner and advisor—can add value, solutions, and bring significant awareness for each portfolio company.
