Beechtree Capital, LLC
 
 
Overview: 

Beechtree Capital was established by George Weiss approximately 20 years ago during his and his then two partners efforts to develop Bowen Smith Corp., the country's first independent wireless radio communication tower company which became the predecessor of American Tower Corp.  Mr. Weiss organized the initial financing and organization of the firm which grew from an equity investment of $500,000 with institutional and subordinated debt of $7.8 million into today's company which enjoys a New York Stock Exchange value of approximately $20 billion.

Since then, Beechtree Capital and related investors have provided equity and debt investments in over 90 transactions involving more than 35 emerging companies.  Total private and institutional debt and equity funding for these firms has exceeded $1 billion.  All debt has been timely repaid, and equity investments have a realized and to be realized value resulting in greater than a 4x return on capital.

Beechtree Capital initially focused on the U.S. wireless telecom and cable television fields, but during the nineties, broadened its activities by investment advisory services in Europe and Asia with an emphasis in structural financings of refineries and other infrastructure facilities.  Mr. Weiss and his primary U.S. partner led Beechtree's activities with numerous international institutions such as Citicorp, ABB Lummis, Credit Lyonnais and Dresdner Bank. The Beechtree team was instrumental in advising the first Russian firm to engage in a true unwritten equity financing and listing on the New York and London Stock Exchanges.  Thereafter, Beechtree primarily concentrated its efforts in the early venture investments in the United States.

Beechtree Capital has provided investment and advisory services to numerous emerging and mature venture backed firms in various fields.  As an advisor with intensive independence and long time entrepreneurial and venture capital experience, Beechtree is able to quickly assess a situation and to help formulate strategies for success within an ever changing marketplace.  Beechtree Capital's primary reason for its successful results over 20 years is the close and consistent working partnership it develops with entrepreneurs and management teams who demonstrate early outstanding leadership capabilities.  The partnership formed is basic to Beechtree's values and has been the leading cause of its success.  Through a team oriented management approach, Beechtree applies its broad financial and legal experience, industrial knowledge and personal connections and methodologies to succeed in the face of many and varying business challenges.  In the over 40 transactions where Beechtree has been the lead investor, it and related investors have succeeded in approximately 86% of their investments with greater than a 4x return on capital.

Although most of its investments have been in emerging companies, in the midst of the current economic downturn, Beechtree Capital has partnered with a well known 25 year Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor to form a $10 million fund for Silicon Valley technology start ups, and it has joined with other known institutional investors to invest in the later stages of companies whose exits have been delayed by current market conditions.  In this regard, Beechtree has joined with Blue Chip Venture Partners, a 20 year old successful venture firm which formed and managed four past institutional funds, to organize and manage a Special Opportunity Fund of $50 to $100 million to invest in late stage and pre-exit rounds in venture backed companies.
