What We Do

Capital is a relationship business. We work the relationship and the structure at once.

i.

Capital Advisory

We help you frame the raise, sharpen the story, and structure the ask — equity or debt — so it lands with the right capital and on the right terms.

ii.

Private Introductions

Relationships built over years with family offices, private investors, and credit funds — opened deliberately, and only where the fit is real.

iii.

Debt & Facilities

Beyond equity: senior facilities, growth loans, and credit lines, sourced through lender relationships that take the time to understand your business.

Rooted at the corner of Tenth & Ocean.

A real place — and the foundation the firm is built on.

Who We Work With

A real fit on both sides — or not at all.

The companies

Ready, and worth backing.

Growth-stage and founder-led businesses with a real story and a clear use of capital — raising equity or debt — that would rather be introduced well than marketed widely.

The capital

Private, and relationship-driven.

Family offices, private credit, and private investors who move on conviction and trust — the kind of capital that rarely answers a cold approach, and shouldn’t have to.

Approach

Relationship-led. Discreet. Deliberate.

We work with a small number of companies at a time, move at the speed of trust, and protect every introduction we make. No volume, no spray — just the right conversation with the right people.

Before a door opens, the work is done: the story sharp, the materials ready, the ask clear. An introduction is only as strong as the preparation behind it — and the trust it’s made on.

What to Expect

A deliberate path, start to close.

i.

Conversation

A candid first talk about your business, your goals, and whether we’re the right fit. No obligation, no pitch.

ii.

Positioning

We pressure-test the story and the ask, ready the materials, and agree on what right looks like — the capital, the terms, the timeline.

iii.

Introductions

When the position is ready, we open the relationships that genuinely fit and make warm, prepared introductions — never a blast.

iv.

Through the close

We stay alongside you through diligence and negotiation, protecting the relationship and the outcome to the finish.

About

Named for a real corner.

Tenth & Ocean is an actual place — the corner where Tenth Street meets the ocean on the Newport Beach peninsula, at 33.60° N, 117.91° W. The firm takes its name from it on purpose. Plenty of advisory firms reach for a borrowed, important-sounding name; this one is rooted somewhere real.

The corner turned out to be the right idea, too. A corner is where two things meet — which is the whole of the work: bringing growing companies and the private capital that backs them to the same place, on the right terms. And the pier just down the beach runs out over the water to the horizon — patient, deliberate, headed somewhere. That’s how we think about capital.

Because in the end, capital is a relationship business. We work with a few companies at a time, do the preparation before we ever open a door, and protect every introduction we make.
