When The Edgewater Funds and Granahan McCourt Capital, two premier private equity firms, needed financing to fuel the growth of Skyware Global, they turned to Wintrust Financial.  Through Elk Grove Village Bank and Trust in collaboration with Wintrust Business Credit, Skyware Global received a $17 million credit facility to assist in funding the acquisition and growth of Skyware Global.  Also, Skyware Global utilizes the Bank’s highly sophisticated treasury management services.  2010 should also provide many additional opportunities for The Edgewater and Granahan McCourt Capital’s investment in Skyware Global and Wintrust will be there every step of the way.
