For Christine Jones, navigating the financial landscape has never been about following formulas—it’s about unlocking overlooked potential. As founder and managing partner of Blue Highway Growth Capital, she has made it her mission to identify and support underserved businesses, steering capital toward companies with promising futures and powerful community impact. Her blend of investment rigor and empathetic leadership sets her apart in an industry often driven by short-term gain. That distinctive approach earned her recognition as a Titan 100 Honoree.
Jones launched Blue Highway Growth Capital to fill a gap she saw in the middle market—companies too large for microfinancing but too small for institutional private equity. Her work centers around supporting growth-stage businesses across a range of industries, with a particular focus on women-led enterprises and those operating in rural and underserved regions. She doesn’t just fund businesses—she champions them, bringing resources, mentorship and strategic guidance to the table.
Her path to entrepreneurship was forged through decades of experience in private equity and capital markets. Jones mastered the intricacies of deal-making while remaining rooted in relationships, building a reputation as a thoughtful strategist and a results-oriented leader. When the time came to create her own firm, she didn’t hesitate to build it around her core values: integrity, inclusivity and impact.
What distinguishes Jones is her ability to see opportunity where others see risk. She leads with a “people-first” mindset, seeking founders and leadership teams with strong visions and a commitment to sustainability. Rather than imposing a rigid model, she tailors each investment partnership to the unique strengths of the business. This customized approach has helped portfolio companies accelerate revenue, scale operations and enter new markets without sacrificing their mission or identity.
Over the years, Jones has advised numerous organizations through periods of rapid growth and transition. Her firm’s portfolio includes businesses that have expanded into national distribution, introduced groundbreaking products and entered previously inaccessible sectors. Yet for all the milestones, she is most proud of helping create jobs, boost local economies and open doors for underrepresented founders.
Blue Highway Growth Capital’s five-year plan includes expanding its fund size and deepening its support for impact-driven enterprises. Jones envisions growing the firm’s influence by launching initiatives that bridge the gap between capital and mentorship—especially in areas where entrepreneurs have traditionally faced systemic barriers. Her roadmap includes not only financial tools but also educational platforms designed to empower the next generation of business leaders.
Jones’s work stands as proof that financial growth and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive. She’s redefining what leadership looks like in the investment world—not by shouting the loudest, but by listening closely and acting deliberately. In an industry often characterized by transactional relationships, her brand of high-touch, high-integrity investing signals a shift toward something more meaningful: progress with purpose.
