## Core Business

- **Build-to-Suit Solutions**: Designing and constructing new tower infrastructure tailored to specific customer coverage and capacity needs, particularly for 5G and ATSC 3.0 deployments.
- **Rooftop & Real Estate Solutions**: Providing rooftop access and other real estate assets for communications equipment placement, offering flexible programs that put client needs first.
- **Asset Acquisition**: Acquiring tower portfolios from wireless operators and real estate owners, allowing sellers to monetize assets while continuing to lease space as tenants.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company); in April 2026, Vertical Bridge announced a $1.5 billion strategic equity investment from KKR [verticalbridge.com](https://www.verticalbridge.com/).
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — $1.5 billion (strategic equity investment from KKR, announced April 22, 2026). The company is the largest private owner and operator of wireless communications infrastructure in the U.S.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: KKR (strategic equity partner); key partners include Verizon (over 6,300 towers added nationwide), plus other major wireless carriers and broadcasters.

- **Sustainability Leadership**: First tower company in the world to achieve CarbonNeutral® certification (2020), a differentiator for environmentally conscious customers and partners.
- **Customer-First Partnership Model**: Many tenants are former tower owners who sold their assets to Vertical Bridge and now lease space — a model that provides immediate revenue increases for sellers while offloading capital maintenance burdens.
- **Experienced Leadership Team**: Over 1,400 years of combined industry experience among senior leadership, with a track record of smart, responsible growth since 2014.

## Strategic Focus
- **5G and Next-Gen Infrastructure**: Expanding tower and real estate solutions to support 5G and ATSC 3.0 technologies, which require new infrastructure approaches.
