Our Client's Thoughts

Ashish and Matt led the Kura Sushi IPO in 2019. We spoke to a lot of banks, and they were the only ones that wholeheartedly believed Kura could be a public company. Their confidence and enthusiasm in the Kura story, along with their commitment to our success as our first banking partner, gave us the momentum we needed. Ashish and Matt went far beyond their traditional roles as bankers to help us find real estate agents, photographers, videographers, website developers, and more. They also educated us about what investors look for in public companies and helped us craft our story for U.S. investors. Ashish and Matt worked extremely closely with us throughout, and it was clear that we were always their top priority.
