We represent clients as an agent in raising capital from institutional investors. The types of capital raising transactions we look for include venture capital for emerging growth companies, growth capital for more established companies, and leveraged acquisitions and recapitalizations for growth-oriented companies with strong cash flows.
Through this experience, we have formed relationships with hundreds of capital providers across the country and internationally who invest across industries and stages of a company’s lifecycle. While every capital raise introduces new relationships, we have built a broad network of contacts with reputable venture capital firms, capital raising groups, mezzanine funds, and senior lenders, many of whom view Bartow Street Capital as a proprietary source of deal flow for quality middle-market opportunities.
Since the market requires that a company represent a significant growth opportunity combined with a highly qualified management team, we are highly selective regarding our capital raising clients. We typically work with established companies, but we will assist companies at an earlier stage of development that have exceptional growth potential. In arranging a capital raising transaction, we assist our clients by:
– Determining the amount and type of capital to be raised
– Establishing an initial valuation range
– Establishing proposed terms of the financing
– Preparing the offering memorandum and detailed financial model
– Utilizing our extensive network to contact private capital sources
– Negotiating final terms of the financing
