Transaction Experience and Relationships with the World’s Foremost Technology and Services Investors
The Marks Baughan Difference
Integrity
Insight
Innovation
Integrity
Integrity comes first, because we believe our good reputation is our most valuable asset. Accordingly, we always put clients ahead of transactions. We work hard to support the strategic direction and potential of our clients and act to help them realize that potential—not just complete a transaction to generate a fee. We are completely independent and have no conflicts to resolve—no funds that we manage, no trading positions, no research favorites—so that we can deliver objective advice to our clients.
Insight
Insight comes from deep experiences in our focus vertical markets. Our clients do not have to educate us on their business or industry. Our deep industry expertise and relationships allow us to bring the right opportunities and advice to our clients. And we can execute on that advice because of our relationships with leadership at the leading companies and the decision makers at the private equity firms that invest in these industries.
Innovation
Innovation is only possible when advisors have both a deep understanding of a client's business and industry and the perspective, sophistication and imagination to deliver creative outcomes. We have these attributes and strive to deliver innovative solutions for our clients in M&A and financing transactions.
Team
We think of ourselves as a bulge bracket boutique for high-growth technology and services companies.

That analysis then informs our recommendation on the amount, structure and process to raise that capital.
