Moody Capital Solutions, Inc., an investment bank with over four decades of experience, has announced the appointment of Steve Kann as managing director. Kann will focus on capital raising and advisory engagements for growth companies, leveraging his extensive background in corporate finance, equity research, and strategic advisory.
Kann brings more than 30 years of industry experience, having participated as a founder, advisor, agent, banker, and investor across dozens of companies. His career includes over $300 million in microcap corporate finance transactions, covering private placements, private investments in public equity (PIPEs), reverse mergers, initial public offerings (IPOs), and mergers and acquisitions. He is also the author of the 2015 book Microcap Magic: Why the Biggest Returns Are in the Stocks You’ve Never Heard Of and holds Series 24, 62, 63, and 79 securities licenses.
This appointment comes as Moody Capital continues to strengthen its team to serve clients in life sciences, technology, healthcare, and other growth industries. The firm is known for its leadership in rights offerings and advises on a full range of capital-raising structures, including PIPEs, registered directs, CMPOs, follow-on offerings, ATMs, and private placements. Moody Capital is a registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA/SIPC, and its reputation is built on providing clients direct access to senior management on every transaction.
Steve Kann’s addition is expected to enhance Moody Capital’s ability to guide growth companies through complex financial transactions. His experience in microcap finance is particularly relevant, as these companies often face unique challenges in accessing capital markets. By bringing in a professional with a proven track record, Moody Capital aims to provide even more robust support to its clients seeking to navigate public and private capital raising.
“We are delighted to welcome Steve to our team,” said a spokesperson for Moody Capital. “His deep expertise in corporate finance and his hands-on experience across various transaction types will be invaluable to our clients.” The spokesperson added that Kann’s role would be pivotal in expanding the firm’s advisory services and capital raising capabilities.
For growth companies, this appointment signals Moody Capital’s commitment to providing top-tier advisory services. With Kann’s involvement, clients can expect strategic guidance backed by decades of practical knowledge. The move also reflects a broader trend in the investment banking industry, where experienced professionals are increasingly sought to navigate volatile markets and complex regulatory environments.
Steve Kann’s book, Microcap Magic, highlights the potential for significant returns in lesser-known stocks, a niche that aligns with Moody Capital’s focus on growth industries. His insights may help the firm identify emerging opportunities for its clients.
