Capital Placement

Service

Arranging Capital Placement

Ridger Capital advises growth-stage companies, asset-backed businesses, sponsors, and fund managers on raising debt and equity across the corporate life cycle. We act as the senior-level transaction quarterback, refining the equity story, building institutional grade materials, running targeted outreach to capital providers, and driving terms to close.

Securities transactions are conducted through GT Securities, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.

What We Do

Ridger Capital’s capital placement practice covers the full capital stack:

  • Equity Capital. Venture, growth, and private equity placements for operating companies and sponsors. Common structures include preferred equity, common equity, and structured equity with downside protection.
  • Mezzanine & Subordinated Debt. Junior capital for growth, acquisitions, recapitalizations, and shareholder liquidity, structured to sit between senior debt and equity.
  • Senior Secured Debt. Senior credit facilities, term loans, asset-based lending, and unitranche structures from bank and non-bank lenders.
  • Bridge & Transitional Financing. Short-duration capital supporting acquisitions, refinancings, and pre-IPO or pre-close timing gaps.
  • Project & Asset-Backed Finance. Capital structured against discrete project economics or asset pools, particularly in real estate, energy, and infrastructure.
  • Fund Placement. Limited partner capital formation for emerging and established fund managers across private equity, private credit, real assets, and venture strategies.

Our Approach

We run lean, senior-led teams. The managing director who originates the mandate runs the process — not a junior team handed off after pitch.

  • Partner-led execution. Mandates are managed by a managing director from engagement through close.
  • Targeted outreach. Investor lists are built specifically for each mandate — calibrated to stage, sector, ticket size, and structure — rather than mass-marketed.
  • Institutional-quality materials. Investor decks, financial models, data rooms, and supporting analytics built to the standards of the institutional capital we approach.
  • Process discipline. Defined milestones for outreach, term sheet solicitation, diligence, and closing. Status visibility throughout.
  • Integrated platform. When raises involve real estate, project execution, or operating considerations, Ridger Group and Ridger Global support the deal team.
