Cascadia Capital announced that Nathan Gordon has joined the firm as a Director in its Technology Investment Banking group. Gordon will be based in Los Angeles and spend significant time in Silicon Valley. He will focus on originating and executing M&A and capital-raising transactions for enterprise software and technology companies.
Gordon’s addition follows Cascadia’s recent announcement of Jonathan Cantwell as Head of Technology Investment Banking, marking another important step in the firm’s commitment to scaling its Technology practice and deepening its capabilities across key subsectors.
Gordon has over 20 years of experience as an investment banker, private equity investor, and entrepreneur. Most recently, he founded, scaled, and successfully exited an e-commerce business, providing him with first-hand operational expertise that complements his years of advising and investing in middle-market growth businesses. Earlier in his career, he was a senior banker at Houlihan Lokey, where he advised technology companies on M&A and financing transactions. Gordon earned a B.S. from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.
“Welcoming Nathan is another step in Cascadia’s strategy to build a world-class Technology practice,” said Michael Butler, Chairman & CEO of Cascadia Capital. “We are making meaningful investments in this area to serve clients across the country, and Nathan’s expertise as both an advisor and operator further strengthens our ability to guide growth companies through complex strategic decisions.”
“I’m excited to welcome Nathan, who I have known for over 20 years, as we build momentum in Cascadia’s Technology group,” said Jonathan Cantwell, Managing Director and Head of Technology Investment Banking. “This key strategic hire highlights the firm’s commitment to expanding our capabilities. As we grow the practice, my focus is on recruiting top-tier talent and driving our efforts to advise category leaders across the technology sector. Nathan’s unique mix of entrepreneurial and advisory experience is exactly the type of perspective we want on our team.”
“Cascadia’s investment in its Technology practice comes as software companies face a wave of consolidation and renewed investor interest,” added Gordon. “I’m excited to help grow the group’s presence and support entrepreneurs and investors as they navigate this next phase of the market."
