Sarasota IT firm expands through new majority investment

Gulfcoast IT LLC in Venice has found itself with a new majority investment all thanks to its client-first mentality, which drew in interest from a Sarasota-based IT firm looking to grow. Financial terms of the investment weren't disclosed. 

Four Winds Technology Group, a firm that provides technical and strategic solutions to middle market companies, announced the investment as being in line with its strategy of acquiring technology companies. 

“When it comes to new partners, we look for innovative technology companies whose operations will benefit from adopting the Four Winds Business system,” Don Borden, Four Winds president and CEO, says in a news release. 

Gulfcoast IT LLC provides IT security, on-site and remote support, technology consulting, and emergency service assistance to its 150 clients.

“Gulfcoast IT is an extremely well-run IT services company with a strong customer base in Southwest Florida,” Dylan Borden, director of marketing with Four Winds, says in the release. “Its customers are extremely loyal and delivered high praise regarding Gulfcoast IT’s customer service, which solidified our belief that the company is poised for significant growth in existing and new markets.”
