Philosophy to Raise Capital

Lantern Capital Advisors

Lantern Capital Advisors accesses  our large network of financing sources in order to help our clients identify and select from a wide variety and competitive funding sources and financing solutions, including:

  1. Bullet  Commercial Banks

  2.   Specialty Lenders

  3.   Vendor/Lease Financiers

  4.   Private Equity Firms

  5.   Venture Capital Firms


Lantern Capital Advisors passionately believes we are the BEST financial advisor to growing private companies because we are fast, trusted, and cost effective.

  1. Fast - We took our financial and management consulting experience over hundreds of engagements, and created a unique engagement process that is superior to all others in terms of time, cost, communication, and client expectations.  Clients always have a clear understanding of where they are in the process, a basis for making good financial decisions, and an ability to start or stop the process with no on-going obligations.  This gives our clients peace of mind, control, and unmatched value relative to any other advisor or consultant.

  2. Trusted - All we do is help growing private companies.  We know their problems, and their alternatives, and have referenced clients to prove it.  Further, unlike investment funds, banks, or investment bankers, Lantern is truly independent.  Our compensation is hourly based.  We take no finder's fees from institutions, and do not seek or accept any equity (or warrant) compensation from our clients.  Our goal is simply to serve the best interests of our clients - regardless of the size, amount, or type of financing sought.

  3. BulletCost Effective - As fee based consultants, our hourly rates are comparable to a middle market consulting, accounting, or law firm.  Then by combining those rates with our unique engagement process, we are able to get clients market feedback on their financing capabilities extremely fast which minimizes the client's risk and costs (both in terms of their time and cash expenditures).
