Benchmark International Successfully Facilitated a Transaction Between Blue Wave Capital and Consulting, LLC and Pelican Energy Partners

 Benchmark International has successfully facilitated a transaction between Blue Wave Capital and Consulting, LLC (“Blue Wave”) and Houston-based Pelican Energy Partners (“Pelican”).

Blue Wave is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business that develops and sells artificial intelligence (AI) based software. The software is composed of machine learning-based algorithms, which use nuclear power plant data to inform fuel configuration and purchasing decisions. The company also designs platforms to create predictive models of components that are resident in the nuclear power plant infrastructure. Similar software has been developed for DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (a division of the U.S Department of Defense) to effectively assess complex and chaotic situations and mitigate national security risks.

“We chose Benchmark International as our advisor in this process to ensure that we received the best and highest value commensurate with the unique capabilities and execution we built at Blue Wave. The Benchmark team played a pivotal role in terms of both deal structure and guiding all parties through to a successful closing. We are truly excited to be teamed with our new partners at Pelican, and we look forward to working with them to seize the many huge opportunities that remain ahead of us.” -CEO Gina Gruenwald, Blue Wave Capital
