Celeran is a boutique investment and advisory group offering access to growth capital and strategic advisory services to our clients

GROWTH CAPITAL OVERVIEW

Celeran offers companies access to growth capital through partnerships with strategic investors and high-net worth individuals. Our partners are looking to invest in relatively established companies that have moved beyond founder financing and are now positioned to become significant players within their industry. It’s Celeran’s goal to ensure that companies get the capital they need from value-added investors who share our client’s passion for growing successful businesses. We strive to facilitate these types of partnerships, because we’ve witnessed firsthand the value it can create.

Strategic Advisory Services Overview

We aren’t just bankers. Celeran is also a builder of businesses—informed, practical, and experienced— providing guidance to help you grow your company. We can help position and prepare companies for a sale or capital infusion, but Celeran can also locate strategic partners, define product and marketing strategies, negotiate JV, and secure customers.
