Clients use this information to enhance their decision-making processes and to make principal investments.
Bill Williams, Founder and CEO of BWG remarked, “Our partnership with Infinedi will allow BWG to accelerate its core mission of offering our clients an ever-expanding portfolio of high-quality primary research and data. In addition, we plan to expand our product, sector and geographic offering in response to inbound inquiry from our client base.”
“We have been impressed with BWG’s consistent growth since inception, driven by its unique information ecosystem that delivers actionable, real-time information to corporations, investment managers and individuals,” said Carter Harned, Partner of Infinedi. “We look forward to working with Bill and the rest of the team to continue their track record of relentless solution innovation and strategic extensions of their content and data footprint.”
Jay Hegenbart, Founder and Managing Partner of Infinedi said, “Our firm has been able to complete three platform investments since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We are thrilled and humbled by the achievement of this significant milestone and the growth of our independent track record.”

While at Harvest Partners, SCF, he successfully raised and deployed a $376 million Fund I.

We look forward to publicly announcing more investments in the near future that can serve as additional case studies for the types of creative partnerships we offer to founder-owners,” added Mr. Hegenbart.
Messrs. Hegenbart and Harned have joined the Board of BWG and Jordan Portner from Infinedi also worked on the transaction. Dickinson Wright LLP served as legal counsel to Infinedi and its investment funds and Kane Kessler, P.C. represented BWG.
