Interlink Capital Strategies (ICS or Interlink) specializes in creating the quantitative and qualitative project information to develop business opportunities and arrange financing.  The original company was founded by Tim Bridgewater and Neil Bush (former President Bush’s brother) to focus on business between the U.S. and Southeast Asia.  Today we have political ties on both sides of the aisle and the focus has broadened to include Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union countries. 

While we have traditionally worked overseas, we have also been involved in a number of domestic opportunities (e.g., the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Small Business Investment Corporation program with a U.S. focused, publicly-traded mezzanine debt fund).  Most recently we have actively participated in the launch of the Department of Energy’s Loan Guarantee Program for alternative green energy and have obtained one of the first approvals in this important program.

We are a registered GSA contractor and a designated Enterprise Development Network Originator for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), as well as a financial advisor for the U.S. Export-Import Bank’s structured finance program.
