Hayes Capital is a family-office–backed merchant banking platform that combines principal investing, strategic advisory, and capital markets expertise. The firm sponsors and structures proprietary SPVs, partners with independent sponsors, and provides embedded advisory to third-party funds.
With deep experience across late-stage venture, large independent sponsor deals, sports & entertainment investments, and branded real estate development, Hayes Capital bridges operators, fund managers, and family offices through tailored structures that balance speed, flexibility, and scale. Unlike traditional investment banks, Hayes Capital positions itself as both a principal investor and strategic advisor, aligning interests with sponsors and institutional managers while maintaining lean, highly responsive execution.
The team brings extensive transaction experience and a proven record of driving high-impact outcomes across industries and capital structures. Hayes Capital supports clients through every stage of the investment cycle, from thesis development and pre-LOI diligence to structuring, syndication, and eventual exit.
Our differentiated network of family offices, institutional partners, and strategic investors provides access to unique opportunities and superior terms, while its merchant banking approach enables both fund-level and deal-specific participation. At its core, Hayes Capital is defined by three pillars—speed, flexibility, and scale—delivering bespoke solutions to investors, sponsors, and operators seeking to execute transformative transactions.
