OUR CONNECTING BUSINESS
Through our affiliated Broker-Dealer business, we connect world-class frontier tech companies that have bespoke capital needs to their relevant financing sources.
FRONTIER TECH COMPANIES have bespoke capital needs as they grow. These could include:
• Building a factory
• Scaling operations
• Funding an acquisition
Whereas most startups in frontier tech only have a handful of alternative financing relationships, we have over 75.
IN ADDITION TO HIS ROLE as Overlap’s CEO, Justin Stevens is a registered representative of BA Securities, through which he is able to assist companies in arranging such transactions. His 18+ years of experience at Apollo position him well to serve as a bridge between the startup and debt financing communities.
• Startups are introduced to a select group of our financing relationships, and a finder’s fee is collected if there is a successful transaction
• We do not typically charge this fee to businesses in which we are already an equity investor
SEPARATELY, OUR CONNECTING BUSINESS ALSO DOES BESPOKE ENGAGEMENTS for large corporates that seek to aggregate a pool of curated frontier tech equity or debt investments. Given our positioning as the connective tissue of the frontier tech ecosystem and our active investment business, we have access to a wide array of compelling deal opportunities across a variety of industry sub-verticals and stages, making us an ideal sourcing partner for companies with limited venture infrastructure or exposure.
