Structuring Exclusive Family Office Co-Investments

Challenge

The target company was limiting access to a select circle of strategic investors, rejecting traditional fund capital due to perceived short-termism. Family offices lacked the direct relationships and technical vetting capability to navigate the complex entry requirements. Missing this window would have meant waiting years for a public IPO at a significantly higher valuation with reduced ownership stakes.

Solution

BroadNorth acted as the lead aggregator, pooling capital from the three families into a single special purpose vehicle (SPV) to meet the minimum ticket size. Our team conducted exhaustive technical and commercial due diligence, presenting a unified investment thesis that aligned with the founder’s long-term vision. We negotiated board observation rights and anti-dilution protections. This bespoke structure secured the allocation at a 20% discount to the expected IPO price, positioning the families for a projected 4x return upon listing.
