A Los Angeles pre-IPO group and later stage growth accelerator driven by investment banking + senior strategic professionals.
Pre-IPO group - focused on investments in pre-IPO companies that are led by exceptional management teams.
Accelerator - focused on companies from $1 million to $20 million in revenues that seek help scaling, fundraising and institutionalizing. We combine elements of accelerators, investment banks, consulting firms and a senior advisory board to drive and support growth and strategic events.
We focus on businesses with a visible path to M&A, IPO or other exit.
We're a little more hands on. We assign senior finance professionals and advisors to our portfolio companies to work on specific goals.
We have participated in merger exits, IPOs and more valued at over $20 billion. We work with a small number of companies so that we can pick up the phone on their behalf.
