This week, Cascadia Capital welcomed its Class of 2026 First-Year Analysts to the firm. It is a moment we look forward to each year: a new group of talented young professionals joining our team, ready to learn the craft of investment banking and contribute to the work we do for our clients.



Cascadia has always believed that the strongest working relationships start early. That belief shapes how we bring on and develop new talent, and it reflects who we are as a firm: independent, collaborative, and committed to growing careers from the ground up.



We are proud to invest in the next generation of bankers, and we look forward to the energy, curiosity, and hard work this class will bring to Cascadia in the years ahead.



Welcome to Cascadia.

One of our favorite times of year is here.



We are thrilled to welcome our 2026 summer analysts to the Cascadia team. Over the summer, they will be jumping headfirst into real transactions, working alongside our deal teams, and getting a firsthand look at what makes Cascadia a different kind of investment bank.



At Cascadia, we genuinely invest in the folks who come through our doors, and we love watching them grow over the course of a summer. To our new summer analysts: we are glad you are here. We cannot wait to see what you bring to the team.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle-market clients globally, is pleased to announce that Tonkean (the "Company"), a leading AI-native intake and orchestration platform for enterprise internal service teams, has been acquired by Coupa, a portfolio company of Thoma Bravo and the leading cloud-native, agentic trade network for autonomous spend management.



Headquartered in Palo Alto, California and co-founded in 2015 by Sagi Eliyahu, Tonkean is recognized as the first-of-its-kind intake orchestration platform that helps enterprise teams across procurement, legal, and finance create process experiences that people actually follow. Through its 100% no-code workflow editor, library of preconfigured process templates, and 250+ native connectors, Tonkean has become the automation platform of choice for many innovative Fortune 500 companies. Tonkean was backed by leading venture investors, including Accel, Lightspeed, and Foundation Capital.



This strategic move accelerates Coupa's ambition to power proprietary, two-sided, autonomous workflow automation across its global network of more than 3,500 buyers and 10 million suppliers, integrating advanced multi-agent orchestration and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) coordination into the Coupa platform. Tonkean represents Coupa's fourth strategic acquisition, following Cirtuo, Scoutbee, and Rossum, in its vision to build the world's foremost agentic trade network.



"The acquisition of Tonkean is game-changing for Coupa and the market," said Leagh Turner, CEO of Coupa. "We couldn't be more excited to welcome Sagi and the Tonkean team to Coupa."



"We couldn't have created a more powerful combination in the market than joining forces with Coupa, unlocking tremendous value to customers far and wide," said Sagi Eliyahu, Co-Founder and CEO of Tonkean. "With our industrial-grade intake and orchestration now serving as the backbone for their industry-leading agentic trade network, we will seamlessly connect buyers, sellers, and agents in a unified way to deliver autonomous trade in a way that no other company can match."



"Advising Tonkean on its partnership with Coupa is a landmark M&A transaction for Cascadia's revamped technology investment banking group. We are thrilled to help deliver a great outcome for our client and advise on a highly strategic acquisition for Coupa. Tonkean + Coupa is one of the best tech M&A stories of 2026," said Jonathan Cantwell, Head of Technology Investment Banking at Cascadia Capital.



This transaction highlights Cascadia Capital's deep expertise in advising companies across enterprise software, AI, and workflow automation verticals and reflects the firm's ongoing commitment to delivering outstanding outcomes for its clients.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle-market clients globally, is pleased to announce that Vertical Raise (the “Company”), a leading provider of K-12 fundraising solutions, has been acquired by Arbiter, a portfolio company of Accel-KKR.



Headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and founded in 2018 by Paul Landers, Vertical Raise is recognized for combining modern fundraising technology with hands-on project management to help schools run effective, high participation campaigns. Over the past five years, Vertical Raise has supported tens of thousands of teams and schools, delivering an average of 37% more per fundraiser through its best in class digital campaigns and the Funds Manager Pro platform.



This strategic move strengthens Arbiter's commitment to supporting schools, families, and communities by integrating high performance, technology enabled fundraising into its growing suite of solutions, which already includes registration, payments, scheduling, facilities, and website management.



"Fundraising is an essential part of youth sports and a natural extension of how Arbiter can further serve families and schools," said Kyle Ford, CEO of Arbiter. "By welcoming Vertical Raise into our organization, we can deliver even more tools and more coordinated support to schools, while maintaining continuity in the products and teams they trust today."



"Schools and teams need fundraising that's simple, secure, and proven," said Paul Landers, Founder and CEO of Vertical Raise. "Our combination of automated digital outreach, personalized pages, and enterprise grade controls through Funds Manager Pro helps programs raise more money in less time. Now as part of Arbiter and their network of schools, leagues and families, we are excited to help even more teams and programs thrive."



This transaction highlights Cascadia Capital’s deep expertise in advising companies across education, fundraising, and marketing software verticals and reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to delivering outstanding outcomes for its clients.

Strategic Hire Signals Launch of Silicon Valley Office Amid Expansion of Cascadia's Technology Practice








Cascadia Capital, an independent investment bank serving middle-market clients globally, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Cantwell as Head of Technology Investment Banking. This strategic hire underscores Cascadia’s commitment to scaling its Technology practice and formally launching a dedicated Silicon Valley office to serve innovative growth companies.




With more than 20 years of technology investment banking experience, Mr. Cantwell has completed over 100 transactions with public and private technology companies. He brings deep domain knowledge across enterprise software, including transaction experience with artificial intelligence (AI) companies. Over his career, Mr. Cantwell has closed deals with leading technology companies such as Oracle, Salesforce, IBM, Workday, UiPath, Vonage, and Mindbody, and with private equity firms including Vista Equity, Accel-KKR, Insight Partners, Spectrum Equity, PSG Growth, Marlin Equity, and K1, among many others.



Prior to joining Cascadia, Mr. Cantwell was a Partner and Head of the Software practice at GP Bullhound. He previously was a technology banker at Pacific Crest Securities and Pagemill Partners in Silicon Valley and began his career with Ernst & Young in New York. He holds a degree from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.



“Technology remains one of the most dynamic and opportunity-rich sectors in the global economy and it is currently at the beginning of a transformational wave with AI. Cascadia is committed to investing in the people and resources needed to serve the technology sector at the highest level,” said Michael Butler, Chairman & CEO of Cascadia Capital. “Over the past two decades, we’ve built deep expertise in high-growth industries, and bringing Jonathan on board reflects our strategy of identifying key sectors early and assembling best-in-class teams to help clients navigate pivotal moments in their growth.”



“Jonathan brings a rare combination of seasoned execution experience, deep software sector insight, and an exceptional global network,” Butler continued. “His track record in enterprise software and his ability to guide clients through complex transactions make him the ideal leader for Cascadia’s Technology Investment Banking practice. We are thrilled to welcome him and look forward to expanding our footprint in Silicon Valley and beyond under his leadership.”



Mr. Cantwell joins Cascadia as the firm establishes its Silicon Valley presence, the cornerstone of a plan to grow a team of approximately 20 technology bankers focused on the high end of the middle market. As head of the group, Mr. Cantwell will spearhead recruitment of top talent and drive the firm’s efforts to advise category leaders across the technology sector.



“Cascadia has a proven history of recognizing emerging trends and building sector-specialized teams to meet client needs, and I’m excited to lead and grow the Technology group,” said Mr. Cantwell. “The pace of innovation in enterprise software, particularly in enterprise automation and agentic AI, creates tremendous opportunities for strategic consolidation and growth investments. I look forward to partnering with our talented bankers to help clients capture those opportunities and build on Cascadia’s reputation as a premier advisor to the middle market."

With the recent election outcome, the potential impacts on markets are top of mind for business owners, investors, and dealmakers across industries. While macroeconomic discussions often dominate the discourse, Cascadia Capital focuses on delivering insights that go beyond broad trends, tailored specifically to the sub-verticals we serve. Our industry experts recently discussed their opinions and perspectives on how the new administration’s policies could potentially shape various industry sub-sectors.



Below is a representative selection of insights from our sector bankers, offering a glimpse into how these anticipated changes have the potential to affect their respective areas of focus. This is not a comprehensive overview, but rather a snapshot of the key developments and trends we are monitoring closely and the changes we predict based on our experience and current understanding of the market.



To discuss how market changes may impact your business or investment strategies, please reach out to a team member that covers your industry in depth.



Business Services




Impact on Facilities Services Market: With Trump’s win of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the broader facilities services market—which encompasses everything from HVAC, landscaping, janitorial services, security, building maintenance, and other facility management services—could experience significant changes. These effects would be shaped by his administration's approach to economic policy, infrastructure, regulation, and labor.

Labor Shortages: One of the most pressing challenges in the facilities services sector is labor. Many of the industries within facilities services—HVAC, landscaping, cleaning, and maintenance—rely heavily on immigrant labor. Trump's historically strict stance on immigration could exacerbate labor shortages, particularly in lower-wage service sectors.







Broader Impacts on Business Services Sub verticals:

AI and Blockchain:  Services related to AI and blockchain are expected to benefit from the Trump administration's deregulatory stance. This shift could provide additional tailwinds for service providers, potentially helping businesses prepare for an expected increase in adoption of AI through solutions like cloud migration and advanced data analytics. 



Nearshoring and Offshoring:  Anticipated increased scrutiny on H-1B and L-1 visa programs under a Trump administration could accelerate the demand for nearshoring and offshoring of IT services. Companies may seek to diversify their talent pools and reduce reliance on U.S.-based immigrant labor, which might continue the upward trend in demand for these services.






Consumer & Retail




Consumer Sentiment: Conversations with consumer-focused PE firms suggest an optimistic outlook, with potential for improved retail spending under a new administration.



Tariffs: The effects of tariffs remain very uncertain, with the potential for increased prices. However, if managed as a negotiation tool, they may incentivize on-shoring of production.



Taxes: Discussions on capital gains taxes have diminished, and a more favorable corporate tax structure is likely. Removing SALT limits may also increase disposable income in larger states.




Energy Transition & Climate Tech




Shift Toward Fossil Fuels: Under a Trump administration, energy policy is expected to pivot towards "Energy Dominance," favoring fossil fuels over renewables and climate tech. This shift has the potential to challenge current momentum in the sector.



The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) and Alternative Financing: The Inflation Reduction Act's clean energy incentives could face scrutiny. If so, companies may need to consider alternative financing to maintain growth and account for potential revisions to the tax credit and subsidization schemes. Given the IRA clean energy programs seem to be quite favorable to "red" states, there is a hope that momentum will continue forward without too much disruption.



Corporate and Technological Resilience: Despite potential policy headwinds, private sector support and technology advancements could position renewables and climate tech to demonstrate competitive viability without subsidies, which could support gradual, long-term progress in energy transition. As has happened in the past, corporates maybe integral in partnering with institutional investors to fund and scale renewable and climate technologies.



Continued Momentum Despite Headwinds: While Trump’s energy stance is presumed less favorable to renewables, advancements in climate tech, investor sentiment, and awareness of climate risks suggest the energy transition will maintain a slower but steady upward trajectory as unit economics improve.




Healthcare



The Trump election could bring notable changes to healthcare policies and subsectors, potentially reshaping the industry's landscape. Some stakeholders view this as an opportunity for increased activity in healthcare mergers and acquisitions (M&A), particularly if the administration takes steps to reverse the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) more restrictive stance toward private equity in healthcare. Such policy adjustments might encourage investment and pave the way for greater consolidation and innovation, creating potential opportunities for growth and operational efficiencies. Additionally, a shift toward a more business-friendly regulatory environment may prompt private equity firms to explore emerging markets, such as digital health, physician practices, and value-based care models, which could gradually influence the broader healthcare ecosystem.




Recent/Upcoming Developments

Nomination Announcement: President-elect Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).



HHS Scope: HHS oversees major agencies, including CMS, FDA, CDC, and NIH, which are responsible for healthcare financing, public health, drug safety, and research.







Key Policy Outlook

Deregulation and Reversal of Previous Policies:

The administration may aim to roll back or adjust regulations enacted during the previous administration, potentially reducing federal oversight in the healthcare sector.



Efforts to ease regulatory constraints could create opportunities for growth in areas such as physician practices, digital health, and other emerging healthcare subsectors. A focus on deregulation might encourage private sector engagement and drive incremental advancements in healthcare delivery and technology.





Medicare and Medicaid:

Policies could include exploring caps on drug prices based on international benchmarks, potentially revisiting the International Price Index proposal from Trump’s first term.



Possible actions include approving restrictive Medicaid waivers, reversing certain Biden-era healthcare policies, and opposing Medicare drug price negotiations.





Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA):

While past efforts to repeal the ACA were unsuccessful, the administration has suggested an intent to pursue alternative, less costly healthcare frameworks, though specific proposals remain unclear.





Prescription Drug Costs:

President-elect Trump has expressed support for lowering prescription drug prices, citing actions from his first term, such as signing the Know the Lowest Price Act and the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act.



The administration may critique existing Medicare drug price negotiation policies without yet offering detailed alternatives for similar cost-reduction goals.





Veterans' Healthcare:

Potential focus on expanding access to private healthcare for veterans and reducing associated costs.



During his first term, Trump signed the VA MISSION Act, which allowed veterans to seek care outside VA facilities through the Veterans Community Care Program.








Food, Beverage & Agribusiness




Labor and Automation in Agriculture: Potential immigration reform and deportation policies may affect agricultural labor, which could drive a stronger focus on automation and technology adoption to fill potential labor gaps in the sector.



MAHA’s Ingredient and Labeling Reform: The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda is expected to reshape the food value chain if executed as discussed, particularly impacting companies reliant on seed oils, sugar, and grains, as well as manufacturers using any of the 1,000+ ingredients banned in Europe but permitted in the U.S. MAHA’s focus on public health and dietary reform could challenge the role of processed foods and additives, which are argued to contribute to chronic diseases. By promoting stricter guidelines and greater transparency in food labeling, MAHA aims to influence food composition and educate consumers. While many consumer advocates support these changes, there is concern within the food industry that labeling certain foods as “unhealthy” could mislead consumers and pose challenges for families with limited food access, as processed options are often more affordable.



Commodity Prices and Global Trade: Trade policies will be crucial for commodity prices and farmer income, especially regarding tariffs and potential countermeasures from key partners like China. These shifts, if they take place, could add volatility to the agribusiness sector.




Industrials



The recent uptick in the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) from a 15-month low of 47.3 in September to 48.5 in October has sparked interest, with some attributing this to pro-business optimism around Trump’s potential election win. While U.S. manufacturing remains in contraction, this data could possibly signal easing in the downturn, with November numbers offering more insight.




Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Technology: Shifts in Production and Cost Dynamics

Pro-Business Tax and Incentive Environment: Proposed tax cuts and targeted incentives could drive capital investment in domestic manufacturing, especially in upgrading capital equipment.



Onshoring Momentum and Automation Demand: Heightened focus on domestic manufacturing, fueled by proposed tariff policies and supply chain risks, could boost onshoring. However, potential workforce shortages might increase demand for automation across manufacturing operations.



Lower Production Costs: Reduced energy prices are anticipated to lower direct production costs and, indirectly, freight and logistics expenses, which could benefit manufacturers.



Workforce Development Programs: Government incentives for skilled labor training could help alleviate worker shortages, which would be essential for sustaining onshoring momentum.







Supply Chain Services & Technology: Expansion and Tech-Driven Efficiency

Environmental Policy Impacts: Potentially looser environmental regulations may slow the adoption of green technologies, but expanded transportation operating margins could boost shipping volumes and operational capacity.



Growth in Logistics Technology: As logistics providers handle higher volumes and target margin expansion, technology solutions, especially software, is expected to be crucial for managing this growth effectively.



Rise in Automation: Accelerated adoption of robotics and automation, particularly in warehouses and distribution centers, could streamline operations and meet rising demand.







Building Products & Construction Services: Investment, Rates, and Consumer Spending

Underinvestment Catch-Up: Historic underinvestment in infrastructure, especially residential, could demand long-term spending increases to address deficits.



Economic Policy and Interest Rates: Federal interest rate trends will be critical, with potential delays or reductions in rate cuts possibly impacting project financing and spending.



Consumer Sentiment and Spending: Consumer sentiment, bolstered by potential personal tax cuts, may fuel home improvement investments. However, inflationary pressures from expected tariff expansion could raise costs for products with global supply chains.






Technology & Software



The tech industry anticipates a favorable shift under a Republican-led government, with relaxed regulations potentially easing some of the more stringent compliance standards on data use and privacy, particularly within digital advertising. This approach could create a ripple effect across various sectors reliant on advertising and data-driven insights.




Digital Advertising: Renewed Innovation and Market Expansion

Regulatory Relief: Reduced oversight on privacy and data collection could alleviate burdens posed by recent laws like the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which have historically constrained how advertisers use personal data. This change, if executed, is expected to reinvigorate ad-tech firms and advertisers, allowing for greater experimentation and personalization.



Innovation and M&A Activity: If there were fewer regulatory obstacles, tech companies in advertising may accelerate innovation in personalized advertising and data analytics. Such an environment might bode well for renewed M&A discussions, as companies could see an opportunity to expand through acquisition amid growth.



Increased Advertising Spend: A potential combination of eased regulations and innovation in ad delivery could spur more spending across sectors reliant on advertising, including consumer goods, food, and hospitality, if advertisers regain confidence in tech solutions.







Media & Entertainment: Self-Regulation with Strategic Growth Opportunities

Maintained Industry Protections: While media may benefit from lighter regulation, the industry is expected to continue with self-regulation due to the high stakes of piracy and content protection under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act). Historically, M&E platforms have not been keen on leaving protective measures to regulators.



Deregulation and Infrastructure Investment: The administration’s perceived opposition to net neutrality could allow ISPs to experiment with differentiated services, potentially benefiting tech infrastructure and content providers. Over time, consumers may see improved internet access if ISPs invest in new technologies.



Consolidation as a Survival Strategy: Following disruptions from labor strikes and competition in streaming, the M&E industry could see increased consolidation. With anticipated relaxed antitrust scrutiny, M&A within streaming and production could help stabilize the sector and foster growth through strategic mergers.







FinTech & Payment Technologies: Growth, M&A, and Rising Risks

Regulatory Easing Spurs Activity: Looser regulations and lower capital requirements are expected to encourage risk-taking, higher-return investments, and a surge in M&A across banks, fintechs, and the crypto market, with increased private equity involvement.



Opportunities for Growth: Lower interest rates and increased spending on financial technology solutions are set to drive valuations, transaction volumes, and revenues, with many fintech companies entering the market in 2025-2026.



New Risks Emerge: Reduced oversight could lead to greater reliance on third-party rating agencies like Fitch, potentially increasing fraud risks. Compliance-focused fintechs may face challenges if clients scale back regulatory spending. Additionally, anticipated complexity around tariffs, immigration reform, and "Made in USA" requirements could influence transaction volume and increase software and processing costs. Meanwhile, a growing focus on cyber vigilance and fraud prevention in transactions involving foreign governments is expected to drive up spending on cybersecurity and anti-fraud measures in the payments sector.
