About The Firm
UpScale Partners’ team blends institutional capital markets expertise with entrepreneurial agility. Our professionals come from leading investment banks, private equity firms, and financial institutions, and have also built and scaled businesses themselves. We are investors, operators, founders, and advisors, bringing a clear, practical perspective to every engagement.
Our team brings decades of experience in capital raising, M&A, and fund advisory, supported by a global network of institutional investors, family offices, and strategic partners. We have guided companies through complex acquisitions, structured equity and debt financings across all stages, and supported investment firms in raising and deploying capital.
Our strength lies not only in our experience, but in how we execute—with speed, precision, and a focus on our clients’ goals. This is the foundation of UpScale Partners: deep market knowledge and an operator’s perspective, delivered by a team built to help our clients navigate transactions and growth with confidence.
