They invest in the following sectors: business services, financial services, consumer, healthcare services, healthcare products and technology. Within the business and financial services sectors, WBCP focuses on accounts receivable management, asset management services, data analytics, distribution services, education/educational services, interactive media, niche consulting, payment processing, payroll processing, research products/services, specialty insurance products and specialized marketing services. WBCP seeks investments in outstanding growth companies in the consumer sector. The firm looks for companies that need capital to expand through organic growth, regional expansion or through acquisition of other market players. They focus primarily on two niches within the consumer segment: (1) companies involved in the sale of new and novel products and services to the consumer and companies involved in the sale of well-established products in new and novel ways. WBCP seeks to invest in growing, well-managed companies with strong management teams that are, or have the potential to become, leaders in their market niche. Within the healthcare sector, WBCP invests primarily in the medical devices, biopharmaceuticals and healthcare services industries. The firm looks for innovative companies with products that address unmet medical needs. They are particularly interested in therapeutic areas in which relatively little capital has been historically deployed, including gastroenterology, neurology/neurosurgery and cosmetic surgery and aesthetics. They may also consider investment opportunities in the orthopedic, spine and cardiovascular segments. In the biopharmaceutical industry, WBCP invests primarily in companies that have late-stage (phase II clinical trials or later) compounds or that have approved products. The firm also pursues opportunities to start and nurture pharmaceutical companies in the dermatology, neurology, rheumatology and gastroenterology specialties. WBCP also invests in small market companies with annual revenues of $50 million to $300 million that have not generated strong commercial or development interest from large pharmaceutical companies. WBCP considers investments in healthcare companies that provide services to patients in the outpatient or short-stay settings and in companies that provide outsourced business services to larger healthcare providers such as hospitals or surgery centers. The firm is particularly interested in service companies that pursue segments of the healthcare economy in which the patient pays directly for the service or that provide business-to-business services to healthcare providers.
