Middle Market Deals and how to buy, sell and raise capital from $5 to $500 million

Today marks an interesting milestone for investors.  Six years ago, the Nasdaq Composite recorded its all time high water mark of 5,048.  Today's close of 2,262 leaves it 55% below its peak.

This week is interesting for me for another reason.  At this peak of the Internet bubble six years ago, I left my corporate job, along with thousands of other executives, to launch a business.  For better or worse, I wasn't technically savvy enough to launch an Internet business and so started an investment bank, the Thorpe Capital Group.

It has been a wild ride!
