Bainbridge

We provide technology-enabled strategy consulting and capital advisory services. Founded in 1975 out of MIT, we work with Fortune 1000 companies, MSMEs, business owners, private equity firms, and capital groups worldwide. We combine management consulting with investment banking.

Our Investment Banking practice advises on growth financing, recapitalizations, and liquidity planning. Our Management Consulting practice develops strategies to help clients grow, improve operations, and test investment ideas. We base our services on primary research and hands-on execution. We also use advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning, drawing on research from MIT.

Forbes has named us to its Best Management Consulting Firms list since 2016, and Vault has recognized us in its Prestige Rankings annually since 2016, including 2025. Vault also listed us among the Best Consulting Firms for Pricing, Sales & Marketing in 2025. We have helped clients with over $6.2 billion in strategic acquisitions.

We operate through two main entities. Bainbridge Investment Bank, a trade name of Bainbridge Capital Securities, Inc., is a registered broker-dealer and member FINRA/SIPC. Bainbridge Consulting Analytics, a separate legal entity, provides advisory and consulting services that do not involve selling securities. We focus on sectors like healthtech, fintech, and digital infrastructure.

Our mission is to help business owners protect the value they’ve built and achieve their goals. We also help capital groups and Fortune 500 companies find and act on growth opportunities. Our approach combines our consulting background with the precision of investment banking. We base every project on primary research and thorough analysis. We measure success by how well we help clients preserve their legacy, realize value, and open up new opportunities.
