Bryant Park Capital

What Bryant Park Capital does

Bryant Park Capital ("BPC") is a privately-held middle-market investment bank founded in 1991, operating as Bryant Park Capital Securities, Inc., a registered broker-dealer with the SEC and member of FINRA and SIPC. The firm is headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania with a New York presence, and employs 11-50 professionals. Over its 35-year history, BPC has completed more than 400 transactions representing over $30 billion in cumulative deal value, establishing a track record across M&A advisory, debt and equity capital raising, and corporate strategic advisory mandates.

The firm operates across seven industry verticals: Litigation Finance, Specialty Finance & Financial Services, Healthcare, Energy/Cleantech/Natural Resources, Business & Commercial Services, Consumer & eCommerce, and Technology/Media/Telecom. Core service modules include buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory, senior credit facility placements, subordinated debt, equity private placements, and strategic advisory for corporate growth and capital structure optimization. The firm differentiates through deep specialization in underserved verticals — particularly litigation finance and specialty finance — where it has executed transactions for clients including DLF Management Corp, Sigma Funding ($35M facility), Deminor ($100M), High Rise Financial ($100M), FundCanna ($60M), and Pasadena Private Lending ($50M). Thought leadership is sustained through the Litigation Finance Quarterly and Market Trends & Insights publications.

BPC generates revenue exclusively through transaction-based advisory fees, with compensation structured as a percentage of transaction value or funds raised, paid at closing. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise engagement with middle-market corporate clients and financial sponsors, acting as exclusive financial advisor or placement agent. Customer relationships are episodic and deal-driven rather than recurring-revenue contracts, with named clients spanning Aequum Capital, ValueHealth, Surgery Partners, NueHealth, and others across multiple verticals. Leadership is led by Managing Partner & CEO Joel Magerman, with senior advisor capacity expanded in October 2025 by the addition of Harris Pogust, the former founding partner and Chairman of Pogust Goodhead with 35+ years of class action and mass tort expertise.
