(Bloomberg) -- Centerview Partners co-founder Blair Effron says the firm may be open to a potential share sale or accepting external investors after resisting steps taken by rivals, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The boutique advisory firm has recently received interest from big investors, the newspaper cited unidentified people as saying on Sunday. A deal, which could include selling a stake to an outside investor or a public offering, may also appeal to some members of its approximately 80 partners who may be willing to sell shares, the newspaper said.
“I never wanted to think about anything around monetization until the firm was broad enough to be stable enough, irrespective of the environment,” Effron told the newspaper. “I feel comfortable that that is no longer a concern,” he said.
“It’s going to be a high bar,” the newspaper also cited fellow co-founder Robert Pruzan as saying.
Effron and Pruzan nonetheless also noted that this doesn’t guarantee a deal soon.
The interest comes after a record year for the firm, which booked about $1.9 billion of revenue in 2024, up from $1.5 billion in 2023, according to the report.
