COMPANY OVERVIEW
Growth Capital Services is a registered broker-dealer specializing in private securities. Our representatives work on institutional placement agent assignments, M&A advisory, late stage direct company capital raises, and late stage secondary opportunities.
Our back office systems were developed by brokers for brokers, using a proprietary data management system that enables appropriate supervision, operational efficiency, and 24 hour access. Our goal is to provide all parties with the information they need, allowing a smooth progression in our transactions from the pre-marketing phase to the close. We make it easy for you to focus on deals while we run the compliance functions.
While navigating the world of private securities can be unnervingly opaque, our team is here to help. Our goal is to offer solutions, not obstacles: effective guidance in getting the job done right.

COMPANY HISTORY

When it comes to broker-dealer platforms for independent dealmakers in the private capital markets, GCS leads by a mile. I’ve taken a close look at all of the major options, and no one else is even in the same zip code, let alone ballpark.
I work on a lot of complex, structured transactions. GCS’s level of knowledge and superior response times makes working as a rep easy. I have never been delayed by an inquiry to the compliance team or given unclear direction on submissions.
In my 33 years as a licensed rep, and having used several different platforms, GCS offers the best platform for their lines of business. Also, the staff is professional, responsive, and efficient. I wish Brian Dunn and his team continued growth and success.
GCS has provided the best broker dealer experience I could have asked for. Having worked at Fortune 500 companies in roles where I frequently dealt with compliance, I can say that GCS’s services are as good or better than any large firm where I spent my prior career.
