Arbor has extensive experience in raising capital for mid-market companies. The Arbor Principals have experience raising money for their own companies and are sensitive to all of the company's needs involved in fundraising.

• Broad Investor Network and Relationships
  The Arbor Team has been in the business of raising and placing capital for over 20 years and have extensive relationships on both coasts as well as internationally.

  In an environment where there is an excess of capital, it is important to identify the right partner, in addition to raise money. Having reported to financial board members ourselves, we know that capital has non-financial costs as well as benefits. At Arbor, our relationships span from traditional sources like venture capital and buyout funds, to less obvious partners like hedge funds, investment partnerships, and a variety of other equity and debt sources.

  Investors that we have worked with understand that we have an operational focus, and the fact that we continue to advise clients post-transaction is seen as a strength of our practice.

• Creative Execution
  We have a reputation for being able to negotiate effectively with investors. Our process transfers the leverage from investor to entrepreneur by "changing the game" from traditional investor-run processes. We often negotiate parallel deals with multiple parties to insure that our clients are able to pick the right partner while maintaining leverage in the process. We combine the art and science of negotiation to optimize results for our clients.
