Sourcing Equity and Debt Capital
The Silverstone partners have extensive experience raising capital for its clients. Our clients range from earlier stage growth companies that have moved beyond the seed stage and are seeking significant (typically multi-million dollar) “A” round funding, to well establish companies with hundreds of millions of dollars or more in revenue looking to recapitalize shareholder equity positions, raise significant growth capital or to restructure and optimize balance sheets.
We know the capital markets exceptionally well, and have raised hundreds of millions of dollars in the private equity, venture capital and debt markets. We work across all areas of the capital markets, accessing private equity and venture capital funds, mezzanine funds and senior lending institutions.
As a practice, we are deeply involved with determining the size and form in which the capital raise should be undertaken, and require clear-cut alignment with our clients around crucial valuation issues before undertaking a capital raise in their behalf. We develop the analytical frameworks to determine pre-money valuations and the potential dilutive impact of the new capital to client stakeholders and what alternatives are most suited and viable; we develop the offering materials and deal rooms and take the deals to market. We remain active throughout the process, assisting clients in negotiating the terms and conditions of the deal and ensuring outcomes meet the client’s real objectives.
