The Minard Guild was created by the award-winning team at Minard Capital to bring together institutional and private investment craftspeople: those who value and remain committed to protecting their craft. The Guild recognizes the legacy of these craftspeople requires a sharing of expertise and stories that concretize this legacy. Whether the written word, the management and protection of capital, the commitment to stewardship, or the analytical components of managing risk, each Guild member commits to bringing their expertise to the table with an imbedded loyalty to each other and the common goals set forth between them.The Guild will host its Annual Event on October 2018 at The Ritz- Carlton, Half Moon Bay where 200 of these global craftspeople will come together, armed with their own stories to share, their own expertise to impart, and their collective hope of protecting the spirit behind the Guild’s purpose and enduring legacy. Minard Capital realized such a community needs to be built in order to sustain, maintain, protect, and provide access to this realm for decades to come. It is on this promise that The Minard Guild was founded.

Founded in 2011, Minard Capital LLC ("MC") is a private, full-service, global marketing firm headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York City, Texas and London. Celebrating the firm's 225th client since its founding and leveraging 29 years of global asset raising, MC is a supplement to and/or a replacement for global marketing teams to help identify, qualify, grow and secure new capital and clients. Current contracts include: building an institutional-quality marketing infrastructure for a $1B raise; finals presentation scripting and training; constructing a global capital map delineating where capital is available; a new fund launch built dinovo (new logo, collateral, website, branding program); a Series B 4-month capital raise; and bringing a new strategy to market for a firm with no market share. Minard Capital's objective is to construct a clear, realistic, actionable capital raising plan to maximize resources, amplify an organization's strengths and create lasting market share and revenue through guiding clients through this architected, thorough, detail-oriented program. Unlike an advisor or consultant, MC isn't paid on advice but on implementation: manifesting the plan created, implementing the procedures recommended and validating the approach through investor interest, new capital growth and elevating the client's brand over its peers. Minard Capital's clients raise, on average, $2B annually by working alongside MC as MC sets the tone, tempo, strategy and etiquette for capital inflows. The firm is not a broker/dealer nor a third-party marketer and is paid on a flat monthly fee, not on commission nor on assets raised.www.minardcapital.com

XENIA is the Greek concept of hospitality, generosity and courtesy shown to those who are far from home. It is often translated as “guest friendship” because the rituals of hospitality created and expressed are a reciprocal relationship between guest and host. XENIA is also a genus of marine coral – one of the fastest to reproduce – which helps tether the marine bed to itself, using its “hands” to push water away from the coral colony in a constant, grabbing motion. XENIA is also the direct effect on a hybrid plant produced by the transfer of pollen from one strain to the endosperm of a different strain. In this spirit, XENIA is hospitality, generosity, courtesy to strangers, fast growing, constant, reinforcement and a transfer agent.www.xeniamedia.com
