Torrey Hills Capital

What Torrey Hills Capital does

Torrey Hills Capital is a privately-held investor relations and capital markets advisory firm headquartered in Rancho Santa Fe, California, founded in 1998 by Managing Partner Cliff Mastricola. The firm specializes in serving small-cap and micro-cap public companies listed on U.S. exchanges (NYSE, AMEX, OTC) and Canadian exchanges (TSX, TSX-V, CNQ), as well as private companies preparing for IPO. Core services include investor relations consulting, non-deal roadshow coordination, capital market advisory (uplisting, stock splits, repurchases), and capital sourcing for private growth-stage companies. The firm also operates the Resource Executives Conference, an annual event facilitating one-on-one meetings between issuers and investors.

The firm operates with a lean core team of approximately five professionals — Cliff Mastricola (Managing Partner), Jim Macdonald, Clay Chase, Anthony Allocca, and Jayne Andrews — bringing backgrounds in investment banking, hedge fund consulting, and securities operations. Compensation is generated through monthly consulting fees ranging from $6,000 to $8,000 per client engagement (disclosed under Securities Act Section 17(b)) supplemented by equity in the form of restricted stock, options, and warrants in client companies. THC does not maintain a proprietary software platform; its competitive position is built on a 25+ year proprietary investor network spanning high-net-worth individuals, family offices, RIAs, financial advisors, and institutional investors, plus sector expertise concentrated in mining, biotechnology, energy, and technology.

Distribution is direct and relationship-driven: engagements are sold to senior management and boards through personal partner-level relationships, with the firm's proprietary investor network and annual conference serving as the primary mechanisms for issuer-investor introductions. Marketing channels include the corporate website, email newsletter, YouTube archive of webcasts, and co-presentations with media partners such as BioPub. The firm maintains a global service reach across U.S. and Canadian capital markets.
