Axiom Capital

What Axiom Capital does

Axiom Capital Management, Inc. is a privately-held, FINRA/SIPC/NFA registered broker-dealer and boutique investment bank founded in 1990 and headquartered in the Empire State Building, New York City. The firm operates across three interconnected service lines: Investment Banking (capital raising via private placements, PIPEs, self-underwritten IPOs, follow-on offerings, equity, convertible debt, mezzanine debt, and senior debt, plus M&A advisory including sell-side mandates, divestitures, MBOs/LBOs, buy-side mandates, and fairness opinions), Wealth Management (portfolio management, asset allocation, retirement planning, concentrated stock monetization, and hedging strategies for high-net-worth individuals), and Asset Management (strategic allocation, separately managed accounts, traditional fixed income and equity, and fund-of-funds for institutions, pensions, foundations, and family offices). The Institutional Sales & Trading desk, led by senior bankers with 20+ years of experience, executes equity and options strategies for buy-side and sell-side institutional accounts.

The firm's go-to-market is a sales-led, enterprise field sales motion leveraging long-standing relationships with corporations, private equity firms, hedge funds, and institutional capital sources globally. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on capital raising and trading commissions, and professional services fees for M&A and advisory mandates. The firm has cultivated a distinctive distribution advantage in China and greater Asia, repeatedly serving as bookrunner or underwriter for NASDAQ IPOs of Asia-based issuers (WiMi $26.1M, CLPS $12M, China Commercial Credit $8.9M, Senmiao $6M, Aether $7.7M, and others), with Managing Director Jay Linde having raised over $14 billion and executed M&A transactions exceeding $3.5 billion in aggregate value over his career. The firm also expanded its geographic footprint in February 2026 through participation in the Odisha fintech corridor initiative alongside GFTN, SBI Holding, and Ant International.
