Capital Raising & Private Markets Advisory

Strategic Capital Architecture for a Private Markets World

Gillory & Associates is a national investment bank built for a world where value is created long before an IPO and far beyond the reach of traditional lending. Our Capital Raising & Private Markets Advisory practice is designed for founders, CEOs, family offices, and private fund sponsors who need more than a transaction—they need a strategic capital architecture.

We don’t simply “find capital.”

We engineer capital structures that match your goals, your time horizon, and the realities of the market cycle, using a Praxeogenic (action-centered) framework that views every raise as a deliberate reconfiguration of control, risk, and opportunity.

Our Mandate: From Funding Events to Capital Architecture

Most capital raises are treated as events. At Gillory & Associates, they are treated as turning points in the strategic life of an enterprise.

A capital raise changes who holds power, who bears risk, what time horizon the enterprise is managed against, and how future decisions will be made. Our job is to make sure those changes are intentional, aligned, and economically coherent.

What We Advise on

Growth Capital & Expansion Financing
Recapitalizations & Balance Sheet Restructuring
Buyout & Acquisition Financing
Family Office & Permanent Capital Structures
Fund and Platform Capitalization (via PCM ecosystem)
Hybrid and Structured Capital Solutions

Every engagement is tailored. There is no generic playbook, only a disciplined framework applied to your specific goals, constraints, and opportunities.

Capital Strategy & Readiness

Before we talk to a single investor, we build the capital thesis:

Clarification of strategic goals and time horizons
Diagnosis of existing balance sheet and capital structure
Assessment of growth, acquisition, or liquidity objectives
Mapping of feasible capital routes: equity, debt, hybrids, structured solutions
Determination of what kind of investor—and what kind of terms—make sense

This strategic front-end prevents misaligned processes and wasted market exposure. It ensures the raise you pursue is the raise you actually need.
