Who we serve · 02
Private companies.
Founders and controlling shareholders come to GDA for the moves that define a private company's next decade: growth capital, control transactions, structured financings, and the path to public markets — chosen deliberately rather than defaulted into.
The firm's advantage is optionality. Because GDA operates across equity, credit, and public markets, the advice is not shaped by what the adviser happens to sell: a company that should take structured debt is not shown an equity round, and a company two years from listing readiness is told so.
What GDA provides
Growth and control capital
Primary raises, secondaries, and control transactions across the firm's institutional network.
Structured and private credit
Facilities designed around contracted revenue and asset reality — including collateral conventional lenders decline.
Public market entry
IPO, RTO, and direct listing preparation and execution, with aftermarket support beyond the bell.
Standing advisory
Capital-structure counsel between transactions, in the institutional register.
On the record
Toronto's exchanges remain the most open senior venues in the world for frontier-sector listings — and they are the firm's home market.
