Tycon Partners manages the entire capital-raising process, from SEC filings and corporate structuring to underwriter introductions and aftermarket support, so you can raise $5M to $75M+ on your terms without sacrificing board seats, equity, or control.
You built something real. You have revenue, customers, and a product the market wants. Now you need capital to scale, but every path forward seems to come with a catch.
Venture capital comes with strings: lower valuations, board seats, clawback provisions, and the expectation you'll hand over 15-25% equity per round. By Series C, founders often own less than 20%.
You need $10M-$75M, not $500M. The major banks won't return your calls, and you're left navigating a fragmented market of advisors, attorneys, and platforms with no clear roadmap.
SEC filings, PCAOB audits, registration statements, placement agents, transfer agents, roadshows. It's like running a second business on top of the one you already run.
You may have already hired advisors or attorneys who took your money and delivered PowerPoint decks, not results. You need someone who has actually done this, from both sides of the table.
Most founders assume VC is the only option. Here's what changes when you raise capital from the public markets instead.
| Factor | Reg A+ / IPO (Tycon) | Venture Capital |
|---|---|---|
| Who Sets the Valuation | You do | The VC dictates terms |
| Board Seats | You keep them all | VCs demand 1-2 seats minimum |
| Equity Dilution | Significantly less | 15-25% per round |
| Investor Pool | 98% of all investors (public) | Accredited investors only (2%) |
| Marketing Spend | Also markets your product | No marketing benefit |
| Public Stock Currency | Yes, for acquisitions & hiring | No |
| Founder Can Sell Shares | Yes, after lockup period | Typically restricted |
| Timeline | 4-12 months | 6-18 months across multiple rounds |

Tycon Partners has been helping companies access growth capital and the public markets since 1995. Our team has sat on both sides of the table: as public company CEOs, as investment bankers, and as advisors.
Glenn has served as CEO and Board Director of public and private companies, and as a seasoned investment banker across IPOs, M&As, ADRs, and private placements in technology, life sciences, healthcare, renewable energy, and entertainment.
Mitch brings extensive experience in operations, business development, and corporate planning. He has served as CEO and COO at startup and operating companies, and held a Managing Director role at Nomura Securities.
"Glenn and his Team at Tycon Partners took my Company and my offering to the next level. I had received some very bad advice and my offering had stalled. Glenn was able to apply his experience and wisdom to my business and get me on track in a very short time. Tycon Partners is second to none."
"After much due diligence and interviewing half a dozen companies, I hired Glenn Bierman of Tycon Partners. It turned out to be the best decision made on behalf of the company. He did everything he said he was going to do and in the timing he initially represented."
"Glenn Bierman in particular is a wealth of knowledge and has been very responsive, thorough, informative and reliable. It is without hesitation that I recommend Tycon and Glenn!"
"Glenn is a rock solid C-level executive and is an asset to any management team he's a part of. I'm looking forward to working with Glenn again in the future."
Tycon Partners works best with growth-stage companies that meet a specific profile. This isn't for everyone, and we want to be upfront about that.
You have real revenue ($2M+ annually), real customers, and year-over-year growth. You're past the idea stage.
You need meaningful growth capital to scale operations, enter new markets, or fund expansion, not a small seed round.
You turned down VC terms because you refuse to give up board seats, accept a low valuation, or dilute away your ownership.
You understand that going public requires an upfront investment (~$250K-$300K before cash comes in) and you're prepared to commit to a 4-12 month timeline.
