Investment Strategy
Woody Creek Partners is executing a strategic roll-up of rural Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across the American Southeast, focusing on markets traditionally overlooked by larger investors. We target smaller operations in regions positioned to receive significant federal BEAD funding allocations, representing nearly one-quarter of the total national broadband infrastructure investment. By consolidating these operations, we create economies of scale impossible for standalone operators to achieve, generating value through operational improvements, technological upgrades, and market consolidation.
Our differentiated approach offers ISP owner-operators partial majority buyouts, providing immediate liquidity while allowing them to retain meaningful equity in our growing platform. This structure aligns incentives and preserves the local relationships critical to rural broadband success while strengthening connectivity infrastructure in historically underserved regions. Through our systematic integration process, we transform fragmented local providers into a cohesive regional platform attractive to strategic buyers and infrastructure investors, creating substantial value for all stakeholders involved in our growth journey.
Our Mission
At Woody Creek Partners, we are dedicated to transforming the rural broadband landscape by providing strategic investment and operational support to smaller internet service providers. Our mission is to drive enhanced connectivity, improve service quality, and expand coverage in underserved rural areas. We are committed to fostering mutually beneficial partnerships that create value for our customers, ISP partners, and the communities we serve. Join us in our mission to bridge the digital divide and empower rural regions with reliable high-speed internet access.

Target Market
Woody Creek Partners focuses on six southeastern states (Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia) that collectively represent 24% of federal BEAD funding. We target established ISPs with $750K-$5M annual EBITDA and 5+ years operational history. Our ideal acquisition candidates serve 5,000-35,000 subscribers in mid-density/rural communities and operate in regions with favorable regulatory environments that support private broadband investment. We specifically seek opportunities with significant potential for operational improvements and growth through consolidation. These markets combine strong broadband funding opportunities with regulatory frameworks conducive to ISP consolidation, creating an ideal environment for our strategic roll-up approach.
