Dragonfly Capital maintains active relationships with over 300 institutional investors, including major venture capital and private equity investment funds, foreign investors seeking equity investments in the U.S., regional and money-center commercial banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and companies seeking joint ventures. These sources provide capital ranging from equity and equity-linked instruments, to subordinated and senior debt, to lease financing and off-balance sheet financing.
Dragonfly Capital has an expertise in raising capital for clients from an extensive network of private equity and mezzanine finance groups who seek investments in middle-market companies and manage in excess of $100 billion of capital. Our experience with these firms and understanding of their investment objectives, areas of interest and transaction processes often enable Dragonfly Capital to deliver multiple financing alternatives to its clients on attractive terms. Our typical private placement transaction is in the $5 million to $150 million range.
