How hybrid capital can unlock value in a slow middle-market M&A market

In this episode of The Pipeline podcast, Vinod Chandiramani, head of capital advisory at Solomon Partners, explains why middle-market M&A has remained sluggish, noting higher borrowing costs, margin pressure and valuation gaps between buyers and sellers. He discusses how hybrid capital and structured equity solutions can help companies, founders and sponsors complete transactions or recapitalize while preserving upside. Chandiramani also reflects on his career path, including his experience on the in-house deal team for Bear Stearns during its sale to JPMorgan and how a professor got him into the world of restructuring.  Credits: Host: Joe Mantone Guest: Vinod Chandiramani Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Feranmi Adeoshun and Alison Perico
