“As an advisor to public companies,” says Amir Heshmatpour of AFH Holding & Advisory, “I tell executives and board members that growth by acquisition, if the target is priced reasonably, merger integration is executed flawlessly…………..may still be a disaster.” Amir has managed the investment strategy and portfolio of a substantial family office over many years, in addition to running his corporate financial advisory practice. Unlike many advisors to entrepreneurs looking to tap the capital markets, his firm puts some of their own money at risk very early on, at the most risky time for an investor. Amir has been intimately involved in the going public decision process as both advisor and shareholder.
