About Cohen & Company Capital Markets

Cohen & Company Capital Markets ("CCM") was established in 2021 with a firm commitment to providing expertise to clients navigating challenging markets and complex transactions. In a cycle marked by historically difficult capital markets, including the most formidable IPO and equity capital market conditions in recent memory, we have emerged as one of the fastest-growing boutique investment banks on Wall Street having announced or closed over 70 transactions in CCM’s first three years. Our team was founded on the belief that traditional bulge-bracket banks and elite boutiques lacked coverage for emerging products and industries. As we drive this mission forward, our new team members will play a crucial role in our continued success.

We advise leading and emerging companies across sectors to address strategic and financial opportunities. We leverage a strong reputation, a broad network, and superior execution to serve our clients’ interest first and always.

We are looking for outstanding team players to join our rapidly growing team, in New York City and Menlo Park. Our bankers at all levels must be prepared to lead transactions and drive our continued impressive growth as we disrupt the landscape of Investment Banking.

In 2023 CCM advised was the most active investment bank when counting IPO and DeSPAC advisory with 29 announced or closed deals, representing nearly $16 billion in M&A volume.

Most recent announcements include:

• Sole advisor on Webull ($7.3B EV) merger with SK Growth
• Lead advisor on Critical Metals Corp ($838M EV / $10M PIPE) merger with Sizzle

Compensation will be commensurate with comparable top elite boutique investment banking franchises. Experienced Analysts will be expected to immediately contribute and lead multiple live deals and contribute to our rapid growth and success as we build a top-tier investment banking franchise.

The CCM team benefits from significant transaction experience and domain expertise. The firm has established a record of accomplishment executing complex and transformational transactions across Technology, Cyber-Security, Blockchain & Digital Infrastructure, Autotech, Clean-energy, LifeSciences, Consumer and other emerging, high-growth verticals, and offers a full suite of services including strategic advisory, capital markets advisory, SPAC advisory and merchant banking.
