What it is
What raising equity means at Bedrock.
Equity raising at Bedrock means brokerage to growth equity funds, private equity houses, and family offices. We place minority stakes for founders seeking capital without ceding control, growth equity rounds for scale-ups past Series A, and majority buy-outs where the cashflow alone won't support pure debt financing.
Our PE network is whole of market. We are not retained by any single house and we do not take placement fees from the investor side, so the recommendation we make to a borrower is not steered by which fund pays best. Borrowers see the full set of credible investors for their deal profile.
The process is rigorous. Equity raises require a robust information memorandum, a defensible financial model, and a management team ready to face PE-grade diligence. We work alongside accountants and lawyers to get the company investor-ready before we go to market.
Who it's for
Common deal profiles.
Three patterns we see most often. The first conversation finds out which one you're closest to.
MBO and MBI teams
Management teams executing a buy-out where bank debt alone cannot fund the deal and equity needs to share the risk.
Founders planning an exit
Owners with a 12-36 month exit horizon looking for a partial cash-out at a credible valuation while retaining upside on the run-up to full sale.
