ABOUT US
SCHMIDT Capital Advisors: Competence and experience.
ABOUT US
Capital raises nearly always come with a range of questions that the company and its management need to answer: What makes our company unique to investors? What is the best way to present our investment case? Should we provide financial guidance in the prospectus, and if so, how? How do we obtain authorization from the general assembly without alarming the market? What are our priorities if we can’t raise the full amount we need? What about employee incentive programs? What about the board’s composition? Is it time for us to switch from local GAAP to IFRS?
At SCHMIDT Capital Advisors, our mission is to offer corporate finance advisory services that are not just technically excellent but also enriched by decades of experience from our own careers as senior executives and board members in growth companies.
You would be hard-pressed to think of a financial, strategic, regulatory, governance, or technical problem we have not faced at some point in our careers. All those hard-won lessons will be available to you as we embark on your capital-raising journey.
