Founded in 1985, Brockson is a privately held Phoenix, Arizona based investment bank handling both corporate finance and merger and acquisition advice. Brockson provides:

1) Sell or Buy Side. Advising buyer and sellers of businesses that are generating $2M to $30M in EBITDA and which ideally have solid market positions and capable succession management.  This is the area it has focused on for over 20 years.

2) Growth Capital.  Money raising of $5M to $100M of junior, institutional capital for early and growth stage companies who have revenue traction greater than $1M. Its specialty or main area of expertise is in the tech arena. Such as: Sensors and Intuitives.  Sensors use reliability of information whereas Intuitives prefer speed and depth of insight; devices and software working together.  Intuitive devices are those where the device/software program learn to “trust” recognized patterns in order to help the device understand information quickly and see things that aren’t “there”,  usually by extrapolating large amounts of information from certain or few data points.  Sensor devices have the same ability of reliable information without mastering historical information received by the device or from the data base submitted, sometimes manipulating objects in real time and assume such information is reliable. Examples include wearable sensors to maintain optimal alerts for individuals/products be they printed flexible, organic, electronic, chemsense, or biosensor.

Semiconductors and MEMS. MEMS are small machines micro-electronic machines which help devices operate via electrical conductivity between a conductor, such as copper, and an insulator, such as glass. Semiconductors are the foundation of modern electronics. BCA has knowledge of semiconductor materials and fabrication processes from simple to the complex, from the speed of microprocessors and memory devices. BCA understands the material science and electrical properties of a semiconductor material can be modified by controlled addition of impurities or by the application of electrical fields or light. Devices made from semiconductors can be used for amplification, switching, and energy conversion; all useful electronic behavior. The properties (silicon, germanium, and compounds of gallium) are the most widely used in electronic devices and are used in fabricated manufacturing throughout the world. Noteworthy. Silicon crystals are the most common semiconducting materials used in microelectronics and photovoltaics.

Software & Software as a Service. SaaS is any purchased software application running on device not a facility. In essence, it is a piece of enterprise software designed as a full-blown application, not a component part of something else and runs at a vendor(s). The way SaaS applications are licensed is different from on premise applications. Instead of buying the license to use the application, and then paying for software maintenance to support it and keep it current, a user "rents" the software over a period of time - usually monthly or yearly. And instead of buying and installing infrastructure and then paying ongoing operating and maintenance costs, the vendor runs the application on their infrastructure. The cost of the SaaS application covers the costs of the software itself and the ongoing operations and infrastructure costs. BCA has some twenty years of enterprise software operations experience both development and client services.
