Companies & Sponsors
We raise equity for founders and sponsors, for a company or a transaction, and we advise owners weighing a sale.
Before an investor reads the raise
A company is read on what it will do with the capital, and we prepare it to be read that way.
Investors who take equity in companies
We hold over 200 investor relationships in the United States, Europe and the Gulf. Among them are family offices and private wealth that take equity in companies directly as well as through funds.
Thirty minutes on the use of the capital
The first conversation, by video with Abbas Chothia, our Client Advisor, goes to what the company will do with the money, the terms proposed and the timeline. Senior review follows, and our answer within 48 to 72 hours.
Read as a committee reads it
David Hunter, Senior Advisor, spent nearly four decades in institutional capital, including as Chief Investment Officer of two US public pension systems. He reads the raise as an investment committee will, before any investor does.
Companies and sponsors
We raise equity for companies and the transactions around them, and we advise their owners on a sale.
Growth equity
Minority or majority equity for a growing company, from investors who back that stage. The case rests on what the capital will build and how soon.
Sponsor-led and co-investment equity
Equity for an acquisition or a platform led by a sponsor, and for investors who want a single transaction alongside it.
A sale or succession
For owners weighing a full exit, a succession or a minority stake sale, advised from the first question of whether to sell.
When to come to us
The situations that bring a company, a sponsor or an owner to us.
If you need investors who help you scale, not only invest, come to us.
We introduce investors whose mandate includes operating support, co-investment and follow-on capital, and we confirm that fit before either side hears the other’s name.
If you are weighing a sale of the business, come to us.
We confirm what the owner wants before any work on value begins, and we bring the counterparties the sale needs.
If the terms are being questioned, come to us.
We review the terms against the market before an investor does, and we tell the manager what to change.
