For mid-stage and late-stage private growth companies, Baton serves as a trusted intermediary and a conduit to sophisticated secondary capital. Our scope of services ranges from single stock transfers to more structured/company supported liquidity events. We recognize the need for shareholder liquidity, yet we also understand that companies have differing views and policies when it comes to secondary transactions. Depending on your needs and policies, we tailor our services to fit each situation whilst adhering to company policy. We seek to minimize the burden of secondary market activity on company management, counsel and administrators. Drawing on years of public market equity transaction experience, our approach is hands on. We use discretion and diplomacy when needed. We do not offer technology-enabled services and we do not use auction-like processes. Every private company is different and every situation is unique. We understand the complex nature of secondary transactions, and it is our view that desirable outcomes in our area of the market can be achieved by offering companies a personal and efficient liquidity service.

Baton is also in a position to connect companies to primary capital, assisting with private placements of preferred securities. While acting as a finder, Baton allows companies to access a large network of sophisticated investors. Unlike many placement groups, our terms are typically non-exclusive, flexible, and success-based. We are not investment bankers or advisors and we do not have retainers or minimum fee requirements. We think many of today’s great companies, while adept at raising capital, may benefit by gaining access to our network.
