Jason Purcell is a CEO at FirstCapital. He possess expertise in venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, start ups, private equity, investment banking and 15 more skills. He is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "I worked as an Investment Banking Summer Associate at FirstCapital over July and August 2016. I had a great time working with some incredibly smart and humble people. The organizational culture is great and is characterized by mutual respect, process transparency and a very high sense of collaboration. A key aspect that I reckon differentiates FirstCapital from the multitude of M&A advisory services out there is FirstCapital’s unwavering focus on learning about the technology and other key drivers underpinning the business instead of jumping straight to the financial aspects of the deal. This ensures that the advisors appreciate and acknowledge the strengths and challenges of the business in order to realize the maximum value for the client and identify all possible synergies from a potential deal. I’ve been in roles before where I’ve had to hire advisory services and all too often, I’ve noticed reluctance on the advisors’ part to invest time and energy in getting a handle on the core elements of the business. FirstCapital is exactly on the opposite end of this approach spectrum and I would recommend FirstCapital to professionals and businesses alike." and "While lots of companies say that they offer ‘collaborative’ working environments, FirstCapital really means it. I worked at FirstCapital for five years, first as an analyst, then as an associate. While there are many things I’d recommend about working at the firm - e.g. meeting a huge variety of inspiring entrepreneurs who are developing innovative technology and/or pioneering disruptive business models - it’s the firm’s culture of teamwork that stands out. Jason and Hazel lead a dynamic, committed team with a sense of shared purpose - and a sense of humour - and this energy radiates out to clients. I often heard client management teams comment on how much they appreciated having FirstCapital ‘join our team’. What’s all the more striking is that the company has managed to sustain its culture now that it has expanded internationally, with offices both in Europe and the US. If you’re looking for varied and stimulating work with smart people in an unusually collaborative working environment, I’d recommend talking to FirstCapital about opportunities."
