Stanmore Fund, LP acts as a lead equity investor in a pre-IPO or IPO round of financing along with other institutional investors in a larger round of financing. The fund will invest shortly prior to the IPO if there is a strong expectation of a significant discount to the IPO price.  With this structure, incentives to create shareholder value are perfectly aligned between the company and Stanmore Capital as the banker.  While Stanmore Capital does charge the investee company banking fees related to successful acquisitions and funding events, the overall success of a deal comes mainly from the wealth created through share value increases on a public exchange.
