Head of Capital Markets, Raises.com
Background
Tre Brown leads capital markets at Raises.com. His work sits between the buyer and the money: he designs the capital structure a lender will actually approve, runs the lender process in parallel rather than one bank at a time, and negotiates the seller instruments that close the gap between the price and the debt.
His practice is the lower middle market, where the buyer is an operator rather than an institution and the constraint is almost never the deal. It is the equity. Most of his engagements are built to move control with as little sponsor cash at closing as the lender and the seller will accept, using senior debt, junior debt, seller notes and rollover equity in combination.
Clients reach him through the Raises.com advisory team after their structure, offering documents, financial model and data room are built, so lender conversations start from a package rather than a conversation.
Documented transaction
Tre Brown served as the buyer's deal-structuring and capital advisor and personally led the transaction from initial lender outreach through closing. He negotiated and structured an equity-light transaction that let the buyer take control of the platform with minimal sponsor cash equity at closing, sourced the senior lender, and architected the seller-financing instrument that ultimately enabled the close. The senior facility was led by US Strategic Capital Advisors. Transaction terms were privately negotiated.
Tre Brown, Head of Capital Markets at Raises.com, worked closely with Mr. Sechelski over the course of the engagement to negotiate and structure an equity-light transaction.
