Private Capital Markets & Advisory
The way into the companies that stay private.
An institutional capital markets firm focused on all stages of venture. We source, structure and clear liquidity across the private lifecycle.
Approach
How institutional capital gets into private companies.
The best venture-backed companies now compound privately for a decade or more. We work across that whole arc — from founders raising their first institutional capital to the secondary market where late-stage ownership changes hands.
Primary rounds are spoken for
The largest rounds are pre-allocated to existing holders and a short list of strategic capital. New money is not invited, regardless of size.
Transfer is restricted by design
Rights of first refusal, transfer consents and tight cap tables mean a willing buyer and a willing seller still cannot trade without a process.
The secondary market clears it
Direct transfers, structured vehicles, forwards and company-led tenders. This is the entry point, and where we operate.
We back founders from the start
We work directly with early-stage founders raising primary capital, connecting them to institutional and private wealth investors from our network.
Coverage
Across the private lifecycle.
Access fails for a different reason at every stage. Each one needs a different tool.
We source the scarce.
Early names rarely trade at all. Access is relationship-sourced, not screened — proprietary founder and seed-fund flow.
We solve the structure.
Restricted names cleared through structured liquidity, negotiated transfer and purpose-built vehicles. Sellers need an engineered exit, not a listing.
We bridge the IPO window.
Buy-side pre-IPO growth equity; sell-side liquidity ahead of a lock-up. An exit without waiting out the lock-up.
Counterparties
Who we work with.
A two-sided desk. Some counterparties come to us holding a position they need to move; others come looking for entry into a name that is closed. We work with both, and treat every relationship as confidential.
