At our core, GormanThayer is a solutions provider for businesses and professional private investment firms seeking to raise capital.  Our expertise is in understanding the buyer, whether that is a private investor, private equity limited partner or debt provider.

Knowing the buyer and understanding what is important to them and their particular strengths and weaknesses allows us to best match our clients with the right capital source, providing for long-term value maximization.  When partnering with business owners, we work diligently to understand their unique vision, objectives and needs.  We effectively develop a capital raising program and match our clients with a buyer(s), whether that is a private equity firm, venture capitalist, hedge fund firm, high net worth individual or debt provider, who has the requisite operational and financial skill set best suited to accelerate growth and maximize the long-term value of our clients’ businesses.  When partnering with professional private investment firms, we bring a practiced limited partner perspective in terms of raising capital and understanding the institutional markets to better position our clients for a successful fund raise.  

Mark Gorman and Brian Thayer founded GormanThayer with the desire to build a firm that employs an approach and skill set that adds significant value to our clients.

In every transaction there are three distinct players:  

          (i) the company or general partner who is seeking to raise capital, 
          (ii) the buyer, capital provider or limited partner, and 
          (iii) the person or firm hired to help connect both parties.  

As these arrangements currently stand, there are a number of disconnects that often result in missed opportunities and a failure to raise capital for businesses and private investors.  GormanThayer has a unique and diverse background, having structured various forms of debt transactions (senior, high yield, mezzanine), invested as limited partners in hundreds of private equity, venture capital and hedge fund structures and in completing direct private transactions.  This skill set and level of knowledge acquired through these experiences allows us to find our clients the best financial solutions by structuring a marketing and outreach program that is specifically tailored to meet each individual business or private investment firm’s need for raising capital.  As a result, we offer our clients a service that provides much more than raising capital, as our mission is to introduce them to long-term, additive partners that help them achieve their distinctive goals.
