Who We Are
The CapTarget team started with a few investment bankers who wanted to adress two fundamental problems in the research and project selection models.
We noticed a big advantage in close rates when comparing firms that had full research departments to those that didn’t. It was easy to see – the successful firms invested heavily to access the best research talent and tools. To even the playing field, we set out on a mission to provide all firms with cost-effective access to the same quality research talent and tools. In doing so we found that our flexible, scalable research model saves all firms money – no matter the size – without sacrificing quality.
Another issue we found was that many startup entrepreneurs could not be serviced by middle market M&A firms due to budget restrictions. We never doubted the value-add that a good investment banking team adds to a capital raise, but sometimes the lack of resources on the client side gets in the way. One day we reviewed all the deals we’d turned away because the traditional M&A pricing model didn’t fit and we realized we’d left a lot of quality companies with nowhere to turn. This became the driving force behind our passion to develop a do-it-yourself model for early stage companies. The result is a cost effective service offering that allows those bold enough to go it alone access to the same resources used on much larger projects.
We are the experts in our field and we are here to help
We understand the pains of both the growing M&A firm and the entrepreneur because we have been in their shoes. We started this company to help others like us succeed and hope that in doing this we will continue to create success for our own team.
