American Capital
The CI – FirstEurope Alliance
In 2002, Anthony Mannara founded FirstEurope in Milan, Italy, to attract capital and strategic acquisitions abroad for European companies. It has a successful track record of more than 30 years of Corporate Finance transactions with European companies.
FirstEurope and (CI) Crestmont Investments have now combined forces in a Strategic Alliance: CI-FirstEurope. Crestmont Investments is an New York-based merchant banking group with a focus on investment opportunities that make the world cleaner, safer or healthier. The firm operates as a placement agent for select management teams seeking capital from family offices and private investors. The CI-FirstEurope Alliance combines the abilities of both organizations to provide comprehensive and effective cross-border and domestic financial services to its clients.
David Beach is the Founder and serves as Principal at Crestmont Investments. He formed Crestmont in late 2017 in partnership with family offices and select deal intermediaries interested in direct investment deal flow. This network enables Crestmont Investments to leverage significant resources and expertise to support impactful corporate initiatives and ventures.
Crestmont Investments and FirstEurope assert that the United States and European economies can be strengthened by a more liberal flow of capital and investment between the two continents.
CI-FirstEurope brings an exceptional set of skills to European companies to provide them with access to risk investment in the private debt and equity markets.
Services and Expertise
CI-FirstEurope offers advisory services for mergers and acquisitions across international borders. The Alliance provides companies with access to private capital markets balance sheet, corporate restructuring and access to capital for international expansion. The Alliance facilitates access to various forms of private capital, including equity, debt, venture capital, and PIPES (Private Investment in Public Equity).
Track Record
The professionals associated with this partnership have a strong track record, having concluded over $900 million in private transactions. The Alliance’s client base ranges from small and medium enterprises to Fortune 500 companies, demonstrating its ability to successfully work with businesses of various sizes and complexities.
Global Presence
Though FirstEurope originated in Europe, the CI-FirstEurope Alliance now has a presence in New York City, positioning itself as an international Boutique Investment Bank. Its global reach permits the Alliance to directly manage corporate relationships abroad to better fulfill client needs such as access to cross-border capital markets and Strategic M&A transactions that support and encourage companies’ ambitions for domestic and international expansion. The Alliance emphasizes integrity in its corporate advisory roles as it seeks to form long-lasting relationships with the corporate managers and investors who source its opportunities.
