Advisors,
Not Brokers
We built our experience at the “big banks.” Today, as an independent firm serving emerging growth to mid-sized clients, we leverage that experience to deliver unmatched insights, analysis, advice, and execution.
"With so many options available, Savory Fund deliberately chooses to partner with the best—and Harrington Park consistently proves to be the right choice. It's not just about business—it’s a pleasure to collaborate with them. Their deep industry knowledge and strategic insight have been invaluable as we navigated the complexities of running a formal process for Mo'Bettahs, one of our most cherished brands and portfolio companies. Fantastic outcome! Looking forward to more successes together."
"On behalf of the entire Mo’ Bettahs team, we are so pleased to have worked with Harrington Park Advisors on our transaction. Mo’ Bettahs places a big emphasis on culture, and from the outset we knew Harrington Park was the right fit for our brand. Additionally, their knowledge, experience, dedication, and proactivity – from the senior leadership through the most junior team members – supported us through all phases of the M&A process. They immersed themselves in our business down to every number at every store in order to market our business the right way, resulting in a fantastic outcome for our brand and equityholders."
“I am thrilled to have worked with Harrington Park Advisors to help me bring on a private equity partner for IMAGE Studios. I interviewed many different firms to help us find the right partner but none had the personal touch and depth of experience that HPA brought to the table. The HPA team put our relationship before our transaction, getting to know me and my business over the course of three-and-a-half years. They helped me understand the nuances of how growth equity transactions are structured, and kept me up to date on the latest market activity. From providing unfiltered advice to serving as a sounding board during stressful moments, and from bringing the IMAGE brand and vision to life every day to negotiating the best deal terms for IMAGE Studios, the Harrington Park team was always in my corner.”
“Harrington Park Advisors was the perfect choice for an emerging brand like Houston TX Hot Chicken. Besides helping me find the right partner to help HHC grow, HPA was adaptable and responsive to the needs of the business and the type of deal we were trying to find. The team was highly efficient, capable, and thoughtful in its analysis, and did a great job negotiating key terms, facilitating diligence and working towards a speedy close.”
“I have known Ashish for several years and have admired the energy, focus, and expertise he brings to clients and transactions with his own personal touch. Ashish immerses himself in the brands he represents and leads every aspect of deal execution. Ashish led Velvet Taco’s most recent transaction and his deep relationships with best-in-class buyers was critical in helping Velvet find the right partner and achieve a tremendous valuation for our investors.”
“Swig values connecting with our guests and treating people right. Working with Ashish, it was clear from day one that we have a shared value system. Ashish got to know Swig, our employees, and our story well and became an extension of our team. He cares about his clients and dives in deep into knowing the brand so well that he even became a regular customer and big fan of Swig! Also, given this was our first sale process, Ashish made us feel very comfortable by explaining and being there for us at each stage of the process. For Ashish, the focus wasn’t about getting any deal done, but rather delivering the best result for his client.”
“Ashish led our dividend recapitalization transaction and was deeply involved in every aspect of the deal from start to finish. His access across majority and minority equity investors as well as debt investors was crucial to finding the right solution for Another Broken Egg.”
“Choosing the right advisor to represent your company can be a daunting task for a founder. Ashish and Matt made the choice easy! They built a relationship with Condado when we had a handful of restaurants and then took the extraordinary step of visiting each one of our 11 stores across multiple markets. The familiarity they built with our brand, people, and purpose enabled them to market Condado the right way, and ultimately deliver the right financial partner at an outlier valuation. Ashish and Matt acted with integrity, always looking to do the right thing for Condado and our team.”
“We worked with Ashish and Matt on the Kura Sushi IPO in 2019. We spoke to a lot of banks in the lead-up to the IPO process, and they were the only ones that wholeheartedly believed Kura could be a public company. Their confidence and enthusiasm in the Kura story, along with their commitment to our success as our first investment banking partner, gave us the momentum we needed to build the syndicate necessary to execute an IPO. Ashish and Matt went far beyond their traditional roles as bankers to help us find real estate agents, photographers, videographers, website developers, and more. They also educated us about what investors look for in public companies and helped us craft our story for U.S. investors. Throughout the offering process, Ashish and Matt worked extremely closely with us, and it was clear that we were always their top priority. They did everything in their power to prepare us not just for a successful transaction but for public company life as well.”
