Bringing an Investor Mentality to the Fund Raising Process

Harken Capital Advisers (“Harken”) provides fund placement and advisory services to private equity and venture capital firms. Harken was co-founded by Don Nelson and Fred Malloy and is an institutional division of Compass Securities Corporation, Member FINRA SIPC.

We have over 25 years experience building private equity firms from the inside, and our founders have each had a key role building a top-performing investment firm. We have raised $1.5 billion in commitments from leading investors around the globe. Our heritage as former private equity investment professionals provides us with an investor-focused perspective to fundraising that sets us apart from traditional placement firms.

Amid current market turmoil, we are seeing a new group of leading private equity and venture capital firms emerge. Limited partners are looking for relationships with funds that are better positioned to deliver strong returns in today’s economy.

Right now, smaller funds with focused strategies and capable teams have unprecedented investment opportunities. Harken Capital Advisers is working with a select number of these emerging leaders to raise committed capital.
