Capital Raise

AIR matches companies, funds and transactions seeking capital with the right investors, so both can grow together. We help companies, funds and transactions raise money by preparing for the market and getting you investor-ready. We launch and manage the entire capital raise process. We close and place the funds, facilitating the completion of each transaction.

 

M&A Consulting

Preparing for a capital raise or sale of a business is much easier said than done. Backed by our in-depth knowledge and years of experience readying companies for the market on both the buy and sell side, we will help you with everything from putting process documents together, creating investor lists, finding and vetting potential candidates, to even preparing management not yet ready for prime-time.

AIR has a proven track record of identifying and creating exceptional, exclusive, alternative investment opportunities for high net-worth, accredited investors, as well as institutional investors such as investment funds and family offices. We take the time to understand what opportunities you are seeking, what you’d like to achieve, and your risk threshold. Then, our due diligence process scrutinizes and evaluates a myriad of opportunities to present you with targeted deals that match your investment goals. Finally, we work with you and your advisors to see the deal through to completion.
