Partner | Perpetuate Capital

Brandt Brereton is co-founder and partner of Perpetuate Capital. Perpetuate is a structured equity fund that marries Christian capital providers with Christian business owners seeking liquidity or growth capital and who also want to ensure the independence and ministry legacy of the business remains unchanged during and subsequent to their involvement.

Prior to his participation in Perpetuate Capital, Brandt served as the President of Brereton, Hanley & Co., Inc. a boutique investment bank in Silicon Valley he founded in 1995 that advises middle market companies on M&A, Private Equity and Employee Stock Ownership (ESOP) / Employee Share Ownership Trust (ESOT) transactions.

God benched Brandt from investment banking two-thirds of the way through his thirty-year business career, and he became a senior executive of City Team Ministries International for two years. He was released back into investment banking after the Lord acutely focused him on His agenda for the world, infusing a renewed passion for educating Christian business owners on the ESOP sale alternative in order to perpetuate ministry supported by those client businesses.

With an equal depth and breadth of experience across the three most common liquidity events and leveraged finance generally, Brandt offers comparative education, advice and execution to owners struggling with the tension that exists between perpetuating the ministry impact of the business and the need for it to receive outside capital for either shareholder liquidity or growth.

Brandt earned a BA in Finance from San Jose State University and has attended executive education courses at Harvard Business School.
