Wafra

What an amazing job by Wafra employees during the recent Washington Heights Mobile Market opportunity in partnership with our friends at City Harvest! This October, City Harvest marks their 20th anniversary of its Mobile Markets program. Through this program, they provide over three million pounds of fresh produce, free of charge, every year through their outdoor farmers’ market-style distributions. This was especially meaningful as Wafra volunteers were able to distribute over 14,000 pounds of produce to 546 families within our local community. A huge thank you to everyone who participated! #CommunityImpact #WafraGivesBack #CityHarvest #WafraCS

As Gustavo Cardenas of Wafra shares on the latest Dakota Live! Podcast, the key to identifying great partners lies in the "investor entrepreneur" mindset. In private equity, he believes sourcing deals and capital are the two most challenging aspects of building a successful investment firm. It’s not just about making deals—it’s about thinking holistically, developing the firm, and building resilience for challenging markets. True value comes from strategic differentiation and the ability to thrive through market cycles.
