Approach · High Elm Capital
Most advisers know a business from one seat. We bring all four.
A founder’s plan, an investor’s diligence, a lender’s credit committee and a market’s pricing all look at the same company differently. Good advice accounts for every one of them.
High Elm was founded by Richard McNally, whose career runs from trading floors through venture capital to company finance and institutional funding. He has invested in private companies both on behalf of a venture fund and with his own money, so he knows how investment decisions are made from each side. Every engagement is senior-led, with specialists in operations, legal structuring and regulation brought in as the work requires.
