Advection Growth Capital
New York merchant bank investing in and advising late-seed to Series B companies, placing third-party capital from family offices and institutions.
Advection Growth Capital is a merchant bank based in New York City that both invests in and advises high-growth companies. Its model combines three functions: principal investing, in which the firm deploys its own capital; third-party capital placement, connecting companies with family offices, ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors; and strategic and operational advisory, covering investor introductions and ongoing counsel, alongside a commitment to follow-on investment.
Target investment stages are late-seed, Series A and Series B rounds, spanning what the firm describes as the venture-to-growth segment. The approach is sector-agnostic across industries and stage-agnostic in mandate, with a stated interest in disruptive businesses capable of transforming existing industries or creating new markets.
The firm positions itself as a long-term counterpart to portfolio companies rather than a passive allocator, retaining involvement through advice, investor connections and subsequent investment. Team experience spans investment banking, company leadership, law and public service.
