"Prior to investing, the team at Azure takes a highly disciplined and analytical investment approach... post-investment, Azure can be relied upon to provide well informed, practical guidance to management and the board. I view Azure as a key asset - because smart money is so much better than just money."

Andy Vought - Former CEO, Broadlight
