A group of investment banking veterans has launched Intrepid Investment Bankers, an advisory firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
The Intrepid team brings over 100 years of mergers and acquisitions advisory experience from their prior roles as principals at Barrington Associates, a firm they built into a national middle market M&A adviser before its acquisition by Wells Fargo in 2006.
Intrepid’s senior professionals include long-time Barrington Associates veterans Jim Freedman, Mike Rosenberg and Ed Bagdasarian. Joining as partners are Gary Rabishaw, Adam Abramowitz and Jeremiah Mann, each of whom worked for over a decade at Barrington Associates.
Intrepid’s services will include M&A advisory, equity and debt capital raising and providing strategic advice in complex securities transactions. The firm will focus on the middle market corporate finance needs of entrepreneur and family-owned businesses, private equity sponsors and major corporations.
Rosenberg says: "We are excited to return to our independent, middle market heritage. We feel there is a large requirement in the middle market for high calibre, senior level M&A advisory services, particularly on the West Coast. With deep experience, an extensive network of contacts and the proven ability to execute, the Intrepid team represents a powerful resource for business owners."
