Where we add the most value

Watertower Advisors supports an active yet underserved market of early and mid-stage companies seeking to secure funding via equity and/or debt financing. We support groups seeking to raise $10M-$200M+ in funding to expand product offerings and support business growth.

Raising capital is a monumental endeavor. For entrepreneurs who are already challenged by limited time and resources, this additional distraction from the core focus of building their business too often results in failure.

We believe strongly that management's attention and energies should be concentrated entirely on operating and growing the business they know, while our team works towards achieving critical initiatives on their behalf.

By introducing companies to the market with a strategic and collaborative objective as the mandate, we can efficiently achieve the desired transaction while limiting downside risk associated with a sales or auction process run by traditional M&A shops.
