“The essential element of successful investment banking is trust - trust that the highest price is being paid, trust that management will deliver good future results, trust that a buyer or investor will complete the proposed transaction. Our clients win because we know from experience how to create layers of trust within complex transactions.” — Doug Schmidt, Chessiecap Founder

“We can't imagine a more experienced, flexible and complete advisor than Chessiecap and Doug Schmidt. Ours was a complex transaction and Doug was with us at every step. We have no higher praise than for Chessiecap and how it delivers.” — Larry Cooley and Marina Fanning, Management Systems International
