About Us
Matthew Gould is a veteran multi-company, multi-industry entrepreneur and also a retired attorney. After practicing law for many years, representing numerous companies, Gould pursued various entrepreneurial ventures of his own and was fortunate to build some impressive successes.
With the successful sale of his last company in 2019, Gould decided to jump into the investment banking world. After many years of being asked for assistance by other companies with not only operational issues, but also for assistance in raising dollars for growth and expansion, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions and the like, and being a serial entrepreneur, Gould created MRG Capital Advisors where he combines his operational and entrepreneurial experience with the ability to offer investment banking services.
Gould is a registered Series 79 Investment Banking Principal.
Understanding Motivations
Every buyer or investor wants (actually “needs”) to believe that a prospective acquisition/investment has a lot more opportunity than has already been achieved. They must believe that with their leadership, with their resources, with reasonably priced changes, or with other steps, the right synergies will be created to take the acquisition/investment target to new heights.
Every Seller wants to ensure that he/she/it has positioned their company to achieve the best valuation and that money has not been left on the table. Ensuring this is again an intentional process that requires the best presentation of one’s company which in turn results from a myriad of strategic and operational factors.
Deal Structure
One last quick thought, if anyone ever tells you that there is only one way a deal can be achieved, walk away because there’s rarely just one way. That doesn’t mean every deal will happen. But a willingness to consider things beyond the obvious opens a world of additional possibilities.
