Established in 2001, Ascendiant provides investment capital and strategic guidance to publicly traded, emerging growth companies based in the United States and selected foreign markets. 

Beginning with the collapse of the financial markets in the latter part of 2008 and continuing through 2009, investment capital has been scarce for public companies and, in particular, smaller micro-cap issuers.  During this time, while public companies have found it extremely challenging to raise investment capital, a financing instrument that has been in the market and available to issuers for over a decade - The Equity Line - has emerged as an attractive alternative for public companies as well as institutional investors.
