This is deal focused. No judging, no ranking, no expert panels pontificating on the state of the industry. In addition, the principal, Bryan Emerson, is a FINRA registered investment banker (https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/4155238) who knows and observes rules regarding raising funds.
