Kirchner Private Capital Group is patterned after the original model for a merchant bank. Our team is comprised of successful business people who now apply their operational, transactional and investment experience to the unique needs of early- and mid-stage companies and their investors.

We pride ourselves in both the quality and quantity of the long-term relationships we have built over the last 27 years.  We believe that the foundation of merchant banking is a focus on relationships. The nature of the work (and the key to success) is the ability to function as a trusted, independent advisor, agent, partner, or principal.
