—— ABOUT WEILD & CO
A Platform Built for Better Results.
Capital, in the right hands, builds companies, creates jobs, and moves entire industries forward. That conviction is why Weild & Co. exists.
The old model wasn't built for that. So we built one that is. Weild & Co. brings proven bankers from the industry's leading firms onto one decentralized platform, giving companies, funds, and investors deep expertise on every transaction, wherever our bankers are based.
We also removed the conflicts that can come with traditional Wall Street structure, the ones that too often work against the people building and backing companies. With no trading desk, our interests never compete with our clients', and experienced bankers stay engaged in every deal from first conversation to close.
Weild & Co. exists for the constructively disruptive: the companies and funds moving their industries forward. Backing them continues our founder's life's work, widening access to capital so that entrepreneurs, smaller IPOs, and growing companies have a real path to succeed.
—— FOUNDER & LEADERSHIP
David Weild IV
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Weild & Co. was founded by David Weild IV, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Weild & Co. He previously served as Vice Chairman of The Nasdaq Stock Market, where he led the Corporate Client Division with responsibility for Nasdaq's listed companies. There he created the Market Intelligence Desk, the Corporate Services Network, and the dual-listing strategy that brought companies including Charles Schwab and Hewlett-Packard to Nasdaq.
A recognized expert on capital markets and capital formation, David is regarded by many as the father of the JOBS Act for co-authoring the studies that first identified the long-term structural decline in the IPO and listed-company markets. He has testified before the U.S. Congress, the SEC, the OECD, and the European Commission, and after September 11 he worked alongside Nasdaq, the SEC, the U.S. Treasury, and Congress to help reopen the U.S. stock markets. Over his career he has participated in managing more than 1,000 public equity offerings.
