RainMakers Private Equity (“RainMakers”) is an independent boutique investment bank providing a unique expertise within the private equity and venture capital asset class. We have built our reputation on successfully executing complex transactions, which has led us to focus our strategy on special situations in the private equity and venture capital asset class. We deliberately seek complexity, where we can make a difference, bringing to the table our expertise and our network of relationships. We were pioneers in what is today called “GP-led transactions”, with a first such fund restructuring transaction completed in 2006, when many venture capital funds vintages 1997-99 were experiencing severe post-bubble trouble. Today, there is a massive industry around such, and is predicted to represent over half of the secondaries transactions volume. We were again pioneers in placement of co-investments and deal-by-deal financing of private equity transactions, by identifying and pursuing deal-by-deal financing of transactions as a real and viable alternative to blind pools of capital.
