Mr. Buttles is the Founder and Managing Partner of Core Equity Group LLC, a venture banking boutique formed in 2004 that seeks to identify, accelerate and provide funding for earlier stage public and private companies. Core Equity Group seeks to fill a gap in the marketplace where compelling and fast growing companies reside, but are just outside the client criteria of traditional investment banks. Prior to forming Core Equity Group, Mr. Buttles' career spanned the financial fields of technology investment banking, middle market private equity and corporate lending.

"In my career I have always gravitated towards working with passionate entrepreneurs and business owners, and being hands on in their development," remarked Mr. Buttles. "We have focused our business on providing services to these fast growing companies, and helping them evolve to a stage where institutional level banks and investors can participate. We believe certain industry dynamics, both regulatory and from an infrastructure standpoint, favor the support of investment in early stage innovative companies. We are pleased to join the Merriman Capital platform and are confident that the relationship will provide us with a strong foundation on which to build and offer our services."
