Capital and Finance are important, but they don't need to be hard or intimidating.In the simplest form, I am a treasure hunter.I unearth brilliant entrepreneurs, ideas and companies, then draw the map to execute the game changing transaction they need to release their next round of growth and help them monetize their equity. It's my deepest belief that by mastering finance, we can create economic freedom and opportunity for more people. As a former investment banker now in private practice, my job is to structure & participate in deals that create new revenue, opportunity & wealth for my clients. My primary focus is on closely held US businesses with $1 million to $50 million in revenue.My approach is purposely simple because the tactics can be very complex. We ask 3 simple questions: 1. What's the problem which is holding you back? 2. Who has the solution? 3. How do we get the solution from them as fast as possible?When you work with me, you get high-level experience, technical mastery, and the benefit of more than $10 billion dollars of transactions which is rarely available to smaller businesses. My network and relationships are precious to me, but available to my clients. I hope that my perspective, creativity and empathy enriches the world around me every day.Here's what a few clients have said about me: - "Martin came up with a genius deal for us that is still paying off multiples today" - CB, Professional Services Partner - "When we met him, we were not sure, and then he just blew us away with how he simplified our funding" - TM, Factory Owner -"It's like we have a fancy banker working for us that we would never be able to meet, much less afford. His experience and relationships are unbelievable" - MW, Financial Services Owner If we connect, here are the relationships I am focused on developing:- Kind and sincere entrepreneurs and business leaders that want to succeed while making or doing something useful for the world- Operational experts whose skills I can refer to my clients either as a service provider or leaders within the organizations- Community & thought leaders who I can learn from, and I can help along the way too.Importantly, I want to have real relationships - not cyber connections. So, no spamming. Let's talk like human beings to one another. If I can help, reach out to me, and let's have a conversation.Newsletter: https://sendfox.com/martinpriest
