Cool Capital finds the transaction and brings the right people to it: companies, sponsors, producers and founders on one side; investors, lenders, buyers and partners on the other. We work across the whole capital structure, in the sectors we know best and beyond them, and we stay involved until completion. The structures are often complex. That is usually why we are in the room.
If you need capital
Debt and equity in every form the deal needs. Senior and stretched senior, mezzanine and bridging, development and construction finance, refinancing and recapitalisation. Preferred and common equity, joint venture partners, co-investors and strategic backers. From a founder's first round to the last tranche of a resort, and everything between. We know which lenders and investors are live for what, and we make the introduction only when the fit is real.
If you are selling
Hotels, estates, development sites, portfolios and whole businesses. We know the buyers who never answer an auction: operators, family offices, private investors and institutions, in London and abroad. We introduce the right one, quietly, and stay until the money moves.
If you are investing or lending
We start with your mandate: sector, size, structure, geography, what you want to see and what you never want to see again. Then we bring you only what fits, early, with the people behind it already known to us. When nothing fits, you hear nothing from us.
If you are making a film or a record
Development, production and completion finance for film and television; capital for music, artists' businesses and the wider entertainment industry. We develop and package projects as well as finance them: the script, the talent, the producer, the sales agent and the money, brought together so the project gets made. We know the financiers who understand the business, and the investors who want in.
If you are the bank or the broker
We work with you, and have for years. We bring you transactions and counterparties: the mandate that suits your desk, the equity that completes your debt, the buyer your client has not met. You bring us the deals that need a piece we can find. Our terms as introducers are simple and agreed before we start.
What is different
Few mandates. Most of our work comes by introduction, and we take on the deals we believe in, with people we would want to work with again, on both sides.
Access. Years of relationships with the people who decide: at the banks and the family offices, among the lenders, the operators and the founders. When we introduce something, it is read.
Range. The whole capital stack and a wide spread of sectors, so we see what crosses between them: the hotel group that needs an infrastructure lender, the founder who needs a family office rather than a fund, the film that needs a financier who has done it before. If an asset or a business has a story a serious investor would want to hear, it is in our range.
Completion. We stay involved to the end of the transaction, not to the end of the introduction.
Discretion. Nothing we work on appears on this site, and nothing you tell us goes further than it needs to.
