Lyric Capital was formed in 1998 to fill a need in the private equity market: Where does a smaller company turn for "venture capital?" At the time, venture capitalists were looking for deals in which they could typically invest no less than $5 million. Often, they wanted deals that would require a great deal more than that. On the other hand, a company requiring $1 million to $3 million often was forced to go through some kind of "retail" private placement or other weird offering, where the placement agent took a very large bite out of the money raised.
Lyric has always believed that smaller companies get the short end of the stick. Lousy advice, poor capital raising opportunities, unsophisticated financings. We think smaller companies, or companies that don't need a lot of money, deserve the best. We aim to provide it.
Lyric's principals have been involved in transactions totaling more than $18 billion. We have advised many Fortune 100 companies, and we have worked on all sorts of sophisticated deals. Every Lyric principal has extensive company operating experience and many years of private equity investing experience. “We get close, so you get the best.”
