Frank P. Quattrone announced today that he and some former colleagues are launching a new financial services venture called Qatalyst Group, a technology-focused merchant banking boutique, headquartered in San Francisco, CA. Qatalyst Partners, its investment banking business, will provide high-end merger & acquisition and corporate finance advice to technology companies globally. Qatalyst Capital Partners, its investing business, will make selective principal investments, typically alongside leading venture capital and private equity firms.
Qatalyst Partners has submitted an application for registration as a broker-dealer with the SEC and has applied for membership in FINRA, the securities industry self-regulatory authority. While these applications are pending, Mr. Quattrone and his team will operate as Qatalyst, a division of JMP Securities, so that they can begin to advise clients immediately.
