Cherry Tree has extensive experience as an investor in numerous financings. Our long history of working with entrepreneurial companies gives us the unique ability to understand the financing requirements of high-growth companies and to assess the likelihood of successful fund raising efforts. We are in constant contact with institutional, corporate, and private investors and maintain a proprietary database of active investors.

With more than 27 years of direct investment experience, we have developed a keen sense for identifying high-quality investments and the character traits of successful entrepreneurs. We use this experience to carefully analyze our client's business and position it to maximize both interest level and valuation. Our solicitation process is thorough and proven. We work directly with our clients to create professional offering materials and help prepare management teams for investor questions and presentations.

We focus our capital markets activity in the following areas:

• PIPEs — Private Investment in Public Entities
• Equity and subordinated debt for later-stage private companies
• Restructuring and recapitalizations

We work with companies that have a driven management team, strong customer momentum, strategic alliances, and a large approachable market.
