My entire professional career has revolved around the world of finance.I enjoy the challenge of structuring the right deal for my clients and more importantly closing those deals so that the company receives the capital needed to fund its growth plans and investors are able to participate in an opportunity of achieving great returns on their investments.The types of deals I specialize in are:► New public listings by way of IPOs, Reverse Take-Over and Capital Pool Companies► Private Placements and Public Offerings► Mergers & AcquisitionsI’m always looking for the next deal, so could this be you?► A high energy entrepreneur with a compelling value proposition seeking growth capital to propel you to the next stage of development► A business professional with a successful track record in the capital markets looking to launch your next project► A successful entrepreneur who has raised capital and needs guidance through the regulatory maze to ensure a smooth, efficient process takes placeDuring my career as an investment banker, I have seen many companies become successful and rewarded their investors handsomely, but have seen many companies fail and lose money for their investors. The differentiating factor for success appears to come down to having a strong management team in place; one who not only is able to execute the business but also understands the capital markets."Betting on the jockey rather than the horse" is my philosophy for assessing the risk and opportunity of any deal. It is important to me to build a strong partnership with my clients so all stakeholders win.It all starts with a conversation, so if any of this resonates with you, please contact me.dwong@haywood.com or 604.697.6169Specialties: Investment Banking | Financier | Deal Structuring | Financial Analysis | Securities Regulation | Marketing | Private Placements | Mergers & Acquisitions | IPOs
