Tiger Infrastructure Partners Recognized Among Top Investors
Tiger Infrastructure Partners is thrilled to share its recent recognition by Inc. Magazine as a member of the prestigious 2024 list of Founder-Friendly Investors. This accolade signifies the firm's dedication to partnering with innovative businesses, providing not just capital but also invaluable strategic support.
Commitment to Entrepreneurs
"We are proud to be recognized by Inc. for our success in identifying and collaborating with talented entrepreneurs creating platforms of essential infrastructure assets," stated Emil W. Henry, Jr., Founder and CEO of Tiger Infrastructure. This emphasis on partnership reflects the firm's core mission: to support entrepreneurs in transforming their ambitious visions into leading infrastructure platforms.
Supporting Innovative Ventures
Recent success stories demonstrate Tiger Infrastructure's effective collaboration approach. Take, for example, Zenob? Energy. Tiger Infrastructure emerged as Zenob?'s first institutional investor in a journey that expanded their team from seven individuals to nearly 300 professionals. This growth paved the way for Zenob? to explore new battery-enabled infrastructure verticals, resulting in a lucrative acquisition led by KKR Infrastructure, valuing Zenob? at over $1 billion.
Strategic Partnerships and Growth
In addition to Zenob?, Tiger Infrastructure's portfolio includes Modern Aviation, where the firm played a crucial role in forming the company's foundation. This collaboration involved strategic discussions and co-location in Tiger's New York office, enabling Modern Aviation to successfully implement a growth strategy that consolidated multiple fixed-base operator locations, transforming it into a leading industry player.
Continuous Support and Development
Despite exiting its initial investment, Tiger Infrastructure continues to support Modern Aviation by reinvesting alongside Apollo-managed funds, ensuring that the company has the resources needed for further growth. Modern Aviation's recent acquisition of a 17th FBO location highlights the ongoing success of this partnership.
