WHO WE ARE
A Principal Private-Capital Platform
Black Harbor Group is a founder-led private investment platform deploying proprietary capital into qualified real-asset and operating opportunities. We invest for our own account rather than raising, syndicating or placing third-party investment capital.
Opportunities are evaluated directly based on asset fundamentals, transaction economics, sponsor and operator capability, capitalization, risk, governance and execution requirements. Investment decisions remain subject to Black Harbor's independent underwriting, diligence and final approval.
Zane Richardson
An entrepreneur with more than two decades of operating experience across construction, real estate, agriculture and strategic ventures. His operator background informs Black Harbor Group's approach to underwriting, transaction structuring, operational assessment and capital deployment.
Over twenty years of direct operating leadership across real assets and commercial enterprises provide a practical, grounded perspective when evaluating sponsor proposals, execution timelines, capitalization structures, and operational risk.
"Operator experience informs disciplined underwriting and decisive capital allocation."
