Who We Are
Based in Tampa, FL, and founded in 2002, Skyway Capital Markets provides advice to leading-edge, middle market companies. We also work closely with wealth advisors, accountants and attorneys, often representing family offices, who seek private equity investment options.
Our decades-long expertise and relationships extend from finance, insurance and real estate, to energy, technology, healthcare and general business and consumer services. Our team of bankers come with deep experience in their respective fields, enabling Skyway Capital Markets to serve a broad range of industries.
We each took different paths to arrive at our shared middle market focus. Our leadership comprises former bank founders, CFOs, CEOs, lawyers, and telecommunications and real estate executives.
We understand the industries we serve not only as analysts and strategists. Our business leadership tenure means we understand the impact the right investment advice can have on your operational and financial success.
