My Approach
Identify. Finance. Take Public.
I work with a network of private investors to find great companies valued at $15 million to $150 million, put the right capital behind them, and help them grow, often all the way to a public listing.
Identify
Thirty-two years in the markets have taught me what a great opportunity looks like, and when the timing is right. I look for strong businesses with management teams ready to grow.
Finance
Through A2 Capital and the private investors I work with, I put capital into those companies and structure each financing to fit where the business is and where it's going.
Take Public
I help companies prepare for and complete an IPO or listing, then work with the board and management on what comes next: further financings, acquisitions and growth.
Who we work with
For companies pursuing growth, strategic acquisitions, and mergers.
The right size
Public and private companies valued between roughly $15 million and $150 million.
The right team
Founders and management teams who want to grow the business, not just maintain it.
The right moment
Companies preparing for a financing, an acquisition or a move to the public markets.
Going public
Experience on both sides of the IPO.
I've spent more than three decades in the public markets as a broker, partner, director, CEO and chairman, and I've helped take companies public. I know what investors look for, what exchanges and regulators require, and what it takes to keep a company healthy once it's listed.
- Getting a company ready to go public: the story, the numbers, the board and the team
- Raising capital before, during and after the IPO
- Life as a public company: investors, markets, financings and acquisitions
How we work together
From first conversation to public company.
A conversation
We talk about your company, where it's going, and what it needs to get there.
A close look
I get to know the business, the management team, the capital structure and the opportunity.
The financing
If there's a fit, A2 Capital and the investors I work with put capital in, structured around the company's plans.
Growth and going public
I stay involved, opening doors and working with the board and management through the listing and beyond.
What you can expect from me.
Capital and access to capital
Independent and objective advice
Deep experience taking companies public
Relationships built over three decades
Building something? Let's talk.
If you lead a company that's ready for its next stage, I'd like to hear about it.
