Capital calibrated to strategy — not the other way around.
Brillwood structures, raises, and deploys capital for operating businesses, projects, and fund platforms — built on an extensive network across family offices, sovereigns, funds-of-funds, DFIs, and strategic corporates.
We begin every capital engagement by asking what the business actually needs — in runway, optionality, and strategic partners — and work backwards to the capital type, investor profile, and structure that fits.
Capital is a means, not the objective.
Our Services
- Debt, equity, grants, and hybrid capital — raised across growth stages, from Series A through pre-IPO and project finance. Mandates from $10 million to $800 million.
- Philanthropic capital — catalytic and concessional commitments, including blended-finance structures for impact-aligned mandates.
- LP capital for funds — institutional fundraising for fund managers and platform sponsors, from anchor commitments through final close.
- Mergers & acquisitions — leading buy-side and sell-side mandates, from origination through close. Deal architecture, counterparty sourcing, diligence, negotiation, and post-signing integration.
- Exit advisory — strategic exit planning and execution — sale to strategic, sponsor-backed recap, secondary liquidity, and IPO readiness.
- Secondaries — LP-led and GP-led secondary transactions, including direct secondaries on growth-stage positions, structured liquidity for early employees and angels, continuation vehicles, and single-asset continuation structures.
- Trade finance — letters of credit, structured commodity finance, payment and settlement rails, and FX hedging for cross-border trade flows.
- Fractional CFO services — for select industries of strategic interest, where finance leadership is the gating constraint to scale.
- Capital-structure advisory — investor selection, term-sheet negotiation, and governance design.

A specialist capability within our Capital practice, serving commodity traders, producers, strategic corporates, and sovereign-aligned trading houses.

Proprietary rolodex. Disciplined process.
- A 5,000+ institutional rolodex. Direct, maintained relationships across institutional, accredited, and high-net-worth investors, with a further extended reach of over 50,000 qualified institutions.
- A proprietary outreach architecture. Multi-channel systems — warm introductions, strategic paid campaigns, proprietary mass-correspondence tooling, and a dedicated corporate communications team — orchestrated around each mandate.
- Speed where it matters. Our fastest client went from mandate to term sheet in three weeks. Discipline, not shortcuts.
