What LiveOak Fiber does

LiveOak Fiber is a privately held fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband service provider founded in 2022 and headquartered in Brunswick, Georgia. The company builds and operates 100% buried fiber networks delivering symmetrical internet speeds from 500 Mbps to 10 Gbps to residential, small business, and enterprise customers in underserved markets across Florida and Georgia, with over 1,000 miles of fiber deployed and more than $200 million invested in infrastructure before its 2024 financing round.

The company's core product portfolio spans residential tiers ($59-$139/month for 500 Mbps to 5 Gbps), business tiers ($55-$99/month for 500 Mbps to 2 Gbps), enterprise dedicated solutions with SLAs (up to 10 Gbps), voice services, priority support, the LiveOak Fiber App for WiFi management, and a specialized HOA/MDU community offering. All services are sold month-to-month with no data caps, no contracts, and free installation. The go-to-market combines inside sales, an online ordering portal, enterprise field sales, and dedicated HOA/MDU community account executives, supported by local installation teams and a community engagement program (LiveOak Locale).

LiveOak Fiber generates revenue entirely through recurring monthly subscription fees and is funded by institutional capital including InfraRed Capital Partners (initial $150M lead, July 2022), J.P. Morgan ($250M, July 2024), MEAG, and a $425M credit facility from Oak Hill Advisors and Palistar Capital in April 2026. Leadership includes CEO Shane Schilling, Founder/CRO Steve Smith, CFO Ryan Hawes (appointed May 2025), and a 150+ person team operating across multiple Florida and Georgia counties.
