One of the key perspectives that I provide is being able to assess the client companies’ weaknesses when it comes to raising capital. Having experience on all sides of a transaction enables me to have a clear understanding of the process. Having managed 3 different equity-related funds over the last 15 years gives me insight to what risks are being looked at by institutional capital. My primary background has always been on the capital structuring and traditional investment banking side of the business. This allows me to properly guide client companies through the process of raising capital from diligence, structuring, packaging and finally negotiating a deal. The last piece of the puzzle is understanding the internal challenges with management has been the CEO, board member, and business development officer of a number of companies.
