Connecting Capital and Opportunities at Great Lakes Capital Connection

Bankers Edge Advisory is pleased to announce our participation in this year’s Great Lakes Capital Connection (GLCC), hosted in Grand Rapids. GLCC is one of the Midwest’s premier gatherings for middle-market dealmakers, investors, and advisors, providing a dynamic forum to connect, share insights, and explore new opportunities in capital formation and growth.

With independent sponsors, private equity firms, lenders, and business leaders all coming together, the conference creates a collaborative environment to discuss trends driving deal activity, strategies for raising capital, and approaches to building lasting partnerships.

Representing Bankers Edge at the event will be:

  • Richard Consul, CFA
  • Mitch Vermet, CFA, CAIA

Both bring extensive experience in capital raising, deal structuring, and advisory services for independent sponsors and middle-market companies.

Why It Matters

For companies and investors alike, GLCC offers a space to engage with key decision-makers and discover innovative strategies in today’s evolving capital markets. Bankers Edge looks forward to contributing to the dialogue while also expanding our network of partners.

If you are attending GLCC, we encourage you to connect with Richard or Mitch to discuss how Bankers Edge can support your capital-raising needs and help you unlock new growth opportunities.
