Our Story
In 2017 after a 20-year career in structured finance and an acquisition of Dylan's employer, Aranca, Dylan decided to pivot his focus and explore marketing liquidity event planning and investment banking services to startups nearing acquisition and IPO.
Dylan started out on this path as part of US Trust- BofA as a Senior Vice- President and then in 2019, left BofA to form Catskill Consulting. Dylan realized he could bring tremendous value to the startup community if he could combine his network of investor and deal-making experience with a team of subject matter experts. The combined team could help startups, properly prepare and position for successful private market capital raises and explore public market capital raises via SPAC mergers.
In 2020 Dylan tested his assumption, combined with subject matter experts landed Fisker Inc. as a client. In partnership with Cowen Securities, located a $50MM investment and a $1Billion SPAC merger. The success of the Catskill Consulting team was proven. Catskill Consulting team is now going to market to help other well-positioned innovative companies successfully explore capital raises for follow-on rounds via private market sources and public market SPAC mergers.
Why is this San Francisco, Bay area consulting firm named Catskill Consulting?
Dylan Gittleman is a NY transplant from the Catskills, who grew up with the Concord Resort Hotel as a second home. Dylan's fond memories hobnobbing with successful businessmen, bankers, political leaders, Hollywood actors, and famous comedians at a young age and the entrepreneurial example of Ray Parker and family and other hotel owners was the inspiration for choosing Catskill Consulting as the name of our consulting firm. Catskill Consulting aspires to be a top choice of Silicon Valley startups, similar to the Catskill hotel families who arrived as immigrant farmers and turned small boarding houses into the Catskills, a top vacation destination of the 1950s-70s.
