Direct partnership with entrepreneurs and management to grow the business and compound long-term value.
Strategic advisory on capital structure, financing, mergers and acquisitions, capital formation, reverse mergers, and alternative public offerings (APOs). In public-market situations, we work with companies, boards, management, and fellow investors on governance, strategy, and activism aimed at improving long-term shareholder value.
We partner at moments when capital, structure, or experienced counsel can change the course of a business. Alignment with management is the basis of every relationship.
We remain involved after we invest, working with management to strengthen the company rather than standing at a distance.
