At North Atlantic Capital, we provide growth capital to innovative technology companies across the United States. Founded in 1986 and based in Portland, Maine, we are currently investing our fifth fund, which is capitalized at more than $123 million. We target high-growth, later-stage technology businesses with annual revenues of more than $10 million. Our initial investments are structured as subordinated debt with warrants or equity features, and typically range between $5 million and $10 million. More Flexible than Debt. Less Costly than Equity. Structured Debt Features Our structured debt offering has several attractive characteristics for rapidly growing businesses seeking patient risk capital: • No financial covenants • Six-year term with no principal payments due until maturity • Fixed interest rate for term of the loan • Deeply subordinated to senior working capital loans Our pricing compares very favorably to equity financings, and our structure is far more flexible than traditional venture debt. Typical Applications North Atlantic’s structured debt has been utilized in the following situations: • As final growth capital raised in anticipation of an exit • To provide founder or shareholder liquidity • To refinance existing mezzanine or venture debt that is amortizing • To finance acquisitions

Congratulations David Coit! An incredible honor from the SBIA, achieving our industry's highest honor. A lifetime achievement award for all of the work David has done helping small businesses. (One of only 11 recipients, EVER!) From being an early investor in iconic Maine companies like WEX, IDEXX, and The Hinckley Company, to working with wonderful Maine non-profits like Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, and then partnering North Atlantic with Stifel Institutional. Such a well deserved honor, and I am so proud today to be a longtime student under David, and and partner to David.
On behalf of the Small Business Investor Alliance, we are pleased to present David Coit, Co-Founder and Managing Director of North Atlantic Capital, with our association's most prestigious honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award! An avid sailor whose journey in venture capital has spanned more than four decades, David has been investing in private companies since 1982. Before co-founding North Atlantic Capital, David was President of Maine Capital Corporation and a commercial loan officer at the First National Bank of Boston. He served as Chairman of the National Association of Small Business Investment Companies (NASBIC) (now the Small Business Investor Alliance) in 2004, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the New England Venture Capital Association. David earned a BA from Yale University in 1969, and he served as an officer in the US Navy before earning an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1975. David was a two-time collegiate All American and captain of the United States Collegiate Sailing Team in the summer of 1969.

Our new fund is officially launched and in business. A uniquely creative partnership with the SBA, the Department of Defense, Stifel, North Atlantic, Lockheed Martin, GE Aerospace, ASTM International, and ASTRO America.
We have received final approval for our unique new private equity fund, designed to provide capital to small and mid-sized U.S. manufacturers working on mission critical technologies in the defense and aerospace industries. The fund has earned a special license from the Small Business Administration, making it eligible for federal leverage, which can supplement the amount of private capital raised and expand investment reach. Initial funding includes significant capital commitments from industry-leading contractors including Lockheed Martin, GE Aerospace, and ASTM International, among others. “We are pleased to receive this license from the SBA,” said Victor Nesi, Stifel Co-President. “In collaboration with our strategic partners, we are proud to give America’s emerging small businesses the capital and strategic support they need to advance innovation that supports our supply chain, creates domestic jobs, amplifies manufacturing capacity, and importantly, increases national security.” Read the details here: https://lnkd.in/eRCEw-Dm #aerospace #defense #middlemarket #supplychain #nationalsecurity #additivemanufacturing #privateequity #SBA
