HPA has a new portfolio company, Fishidy. It’s the first time HPA has participated in funding a Wisconsin based company. We are excited about that because there are great things happening in Wisconsin. Fishidy is based in Madison, Wisconsin. Paul Budak lead the deal for HPA. Paul says, “It’s a huge market and it’s untapped from a technology standpoint.” People spend more money on fishing than they do on golf. It’s a massive industry.
Brian Jensen is the CEO of Fishidy. He is an avid fisherman, and came up with the idea. He was previously an executive at GeoDecisions, a leading Geographic Information Systems (GIS) company. He likes to say that Google Maps can get you from your home to the fishing hole, but Fishidy takes you from the boat launch to where the fish are biting.
