  Paulson Investment Company

  Mar 2014 - Sept 2014

  Investment Executive

  Founded in 1970 in Portland, Oregon, Paulson Investment Company earned national distinction as a premier boutique investment bank in the small to mid-cap market, leading 175 public and private offerings and raising over $1.2 billion in financing.Paulson's recent expansion of its investment banking services is in response to market demands for experienced investment banks following the dramatic shift in capital markets and financial institutions industry. Since the mid-1990s nearly 50 regional investment banks—including Alex Brown, Montgomery Securities, Hambrecht & Quist and Robertson Stephens—have been acquired by major financial institutions. Such industry consolidation has pressured a new breed of bulge-bracket investment banks to compete for large market-capitalization clients and has greatly reduced Wall Street’s focus on the middle market. Through the consolidation of the market, Paulson has maintained its independence and growth-oriented, entrepreneurial focus dedicated to serving the needs of small and midsized companies and the individuals and institutions that invest in them.The firm’s management is composed of seasoned professionals, each with proven expertise and long-standing industry relationships. The leadership of Paulson has a successful history of owning and operating investment banks, as well as holding key positions at firms such as Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Black & Co, The Shemano Group, Salomon Brothers, Drexel Burnham and Thomas Weisel Partners.We provide our clients access to invest in micro-cap (sub $250 million) companies which we feel possess a disruptive technology that can drastically alter a substantially large market and also has an exceptional entrepreneurial management team in place to execute.
