Mel has raised and invested greater than $100 million of equity in the western PA region, almost all of it exclusively from high net worth individuals.
He leads financings only for highly selected opportunities and works with the enterprise’s entrepreneur so that he or she can develop
the most effective articulation of their value proposition and successfully secure the funding they deserve from predominately
what’s known as “super-angel” investors.
Mel also provides CEO coaching and financial advisory services.
"Mel taught me the finer points of fundraising. I thought I knew what to do, and that I was comfortable doing it,
but he showed me that there is a lot more to learn."
