“We were seeking a substantial amount of capital to grow our distressed debt investment platform, and needed an extremely fast execution. Castle Placement was the perfect placement agent/advisor to take us to market. Our business is relatively complex and nuanced, and Castle was able to quickly understand it and position us for success. With Castle's support and robust capital markets expertise, we were able to achieve a terrific outcome with an ideal financial partner – and close the deal.”

“As the CEO of First Guaranty Mortgage Corp., I was tasked to sell the company. We hired Castle Placement as our exclusive agent on the transaction and I am very glad we did. Castle created an extremely competitive process that resulted in many qualified investors submitting compelling proposals. I believe that Castle obtained the best possible execution available in the marketplace, with great service and follow-up. I strongly recommend the Castle bankers.”

“I have worked very closely with Richard Luftig for several decades, watched him and Ken build Castle from the beginning, and closed several capital raises with them in various industries. They do everything by the book, and I always trust them to do the right thing and get the job done.”

Castle Placement was the exclusive placement agent for our initial capital raise. They did a spectacular job for us, which does not surprise me at all. I’ve worked with Ken and Richard for decades, and think that they are among the most effective and professional people in the capital markets space.

Castle Placement did a great job as our exclusive placement agent helping us to close our round and introduced us to several prominent investors in our industry, many of which could be investors in our company in future rounds.

The CPGO Competition was great as always. I really appreciate you creating this space for the teams. They really seem to rise to the occasion and get a lot out of it. I very much enjoy this partnership and the growth and engagement it fosters for my students!! Thanks!

Richard, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate as a judge in the CPGO competition. I think it is a great thing you and Castle Placement have put together. I think back to my presentation days in college, and I never had the luxury to present to professionals like you offered these students. Well done and thank you again for letting me be a part of it!

We are a health and wellness focused company and hired Castle Placement to raise capital to fuel our acquisition/growth strategy. Castle really delivered for us. In a way, the transaction epitomizes the scope of the Castle Placement platform and why we hired them. I am based in Australia, and Castle found a great Australian investor/financial partner that likes the agriculture, food and beverage sector. I actually knew of the investor, but the private capital markets are incredibly inefficient, and Castle Placement brought us together for this transaction. We are delighted.

We hired Castle Placement as our exclusive placement agent to help us build our pioneering online gaming marketplace intelligence platform. We were pleased to complete the sale of our company to Gaming Compliance International, and are extremely grateful to Castle for their professionalism, responsiveness, diligence and great client service throughout the engagement.

I’ve built homes in the Hamptons for Billy Joel, Beyoncé, Alec Baldwin, Donna Karan, Wall Street moguls, and countless other clients. They all required uncompromising quality and precision, and I, in turn, demanded the same thing from the professionals that I hired — and Castle delivered. From engagement through closing the Castle team (from the top on down) were incredibly responsive and professional.

We are an ESG focused company and hired Castle Placement to raise a substantial amount of capital for our project. We were very pleased with Castle’s execution. They obtained very attractive capital for us and the perfect strategic partner for our operations. The Castle team was extremely transparent and hands-on throughout the whole process. We enjoyed working with Castle and recommend them highly.

Castle Placement did a terrific job on our capital raise. The fix/flip industry is more established today than it was when we did our transaction with Castle. As such, Castle needed to educate prospective investors regarding the industry and the opportunity. Castle does a great job of getting its clients in front of institutional investors seeking debt and equity funding — I would be happy to engage them for a future raise.

As a woman-owned systems integrator, we provide award-winning cloud/storage solutions to our global clients. We needed a debt facility that would enable us to grow and meet the needs of our customers. Castle Placement did a fantastic job of finding several prospective lenders for us, and helping us to structure and close the loan at very competitive terms. As a tech company, we appreciated how efficient and fast Castle’s platform made the entire process from engagement to closing.

We are an innovation real estate investment platform that is disrupting how ordinary people access multifamily opportunities. Castle Placement has been with us every step of the way and contributed significantly to our success. They are our trusted advisor, investment bank, and partner.

As the CEO of Celcy Technologies, I hired Castle Placement as my exclusive placement agent to raise capital to enable our launch. Our company was early stage, and market conditions were volatile (to say the least). Despite these challenges, Castle brought several targeted, interested investors to the table. Their process was extremely efficient and fast, and resulted in an amazing seed investor that was a perfect fit to fuel Celcy’s growth. Great platform, great bankers.

Castle Placement: Thank you for believing in me enough to take me on as a client. There is no way we would be where we are today without our engagement. I am truly humbled and grateful. You help push me and have expanded my vision and made it more than just an idea, but a reality that is currently very palpable.

I have worked with Richard and Ken since 1995 when I was the CIO of SunAmerica and they were at CSFB, and closed many, many successful transactions with them, including at Castle Placement. They have always done a great job getting great execution for me, while conducting themselves in a professional manner with honesty and integrity and the highest ethical standards.
