CLEAR NORTH CAPITAL
When Clear North Capital launched the POI deal and needed to raise additional equity capital, I contacted Bennett Brown to assist with the sourcing of capital. Drawing on his diverse network in the family office space, Geoff was quickly able to introduce Clear North to excellent potential partners.
