We specialize in representing and advising the owners and operators of privately held and small-cap or mid-cap publicly traded companies who wish to consider the possibility of a sale. Our sales clients generally have annual revenues between $10 and $90 million, operating across a broad range of industries. We regularly represent businesses built and run by families and entrepreneurs who wish to sell or merge.
Our financing clients are generally early-stage (but not seed or start-up companies) private companies operating in technology and other high-growth industries, with past financings, established operations, proprietary and defensible business plans, and existing customers. They generally seek $5 - $50 million of institutional private capital to achieve their growth objectives. We have long-standing relationships with hundreds of the best venture capital, leveraged buyout and mezzanine private equity firms in the country.
