"Stone
Capital Fund offers full-service investment banking capabilities
for public middle-market companies. We believe that the
middle-market corporate segment has been underserved by
the investment community despite a need for growth capital,
strategic transactions and financial advisory services.
We have dedicated our practice to serving the investment
needs of well-managed middle-market companies and providing
expertise to assist our corporate clients in achieving
their business and financial objectives. "
Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE)
Private investments in public entities are
often referred to as PIPEs. We have significant experience
and expertise in structuring and placing PIPE transactions
for middle-market public companies. We seek to make
investments of between $ 1 million and $20 million in
each partner company. Stone Capital Fund customizes
each PIPE financing to meet the company's capital structure
and financing needs, including growth capital, acquisition
financing, recapitalizations and secondary equity sales.
We maintain relationships with both traditional and
fundamental PIPE financing sources, with a particular
focus on funds that aggressively target emerging, middle-market
companies with longer-term investment horizons.
Obtaining financing on reasonable terms is often difficult
for a publicly traded company. Management must balance
a company's short-term liquidity needs with its long-term
goals of enhancing shareholder value while creating an
optimal capital structure. We are committed to the principles
of fairness and reasonableness which will lead to mutual
long-term success.
FINANCINGS
With over 35 years of success in raising capital for middle-market
companies, Stone Capital Fund has deep-rooted relationships
with the full range of capital sources, from private equity
funds to senior debt providers. Stone Capital Fund has
worked with companies, shareholders and management teams
in executing a wide variety of financing transactions,
from growth capital infusions and refinancings to recapitalizations
and management buyouts.
Private Equity Transactions.
Stone Capital
Fund has close relationships with a broad array of private equity firms. As
the industry dynamics are continually changing, we closely track each fund's
target industry sector, size and structural preferences. These relationships
and knowledge are integral in matching our Fund’s with the most appropriate
private equity sources.

Fund has an extensive background working with clients throughout the public
equity offering process, encompassing a wide array of transactions, including
IPO's, follow-on and secondary offerings, and hybrid financings. We customize
