PIPES is the first book written for CEO's on the process of financing the public company with private investments. Written by Harlan P. Kleiman and Ronald F. Richards, PIPES reflects these bankers’ expertise garnered from completing over 120 PIPE financings worth more than $1.5 billion dollars. The authors can safely claim to be among the most experienced PIPES bankers in the industry.
PIPES was written to give the CEO an edge in negotiating transactions that build shareholder value.
