What First Turn Capital Does

First Turn Capital is a boutique investment bank focused on helping business owners unlock strategic growth and liquidity. We specialize in raising institutional capital that traditional commercial banks often cannot provide, enabling our clients to scale, restructure, or recapitalize effectively.

In addition to capital raising, we advise founders and management teams on company sales, mergers, and recapitalizations — ensuring optimal outcomes whether they're seeking growth equity, a majority sale, or a generational transition.

We pride ourselves on being trusted advisors through the “first turn” — the critical juncture where strategic finance becomes essential to unlocking the next phase of value.

What We Offer

• Capital Raising Solutions: Sourcing growth equity, mezzanine debt, or non-bank financing from institutional investors for expansion, acquisitions, or recapitalizations.

• M&A Advisory: Representing owners in full or partial sale processes, with a focus on maximizing value and fit.

• Recapitalization Strategies: Helping businesses restructure their capital stacks to support succession planning, shareholder liquidity, or growth reinvestment.

• Relationship-Driven Approach: Deep partnerships with clients, investors, and acquirers — delivering tailored strategies and hands-on execution.
