NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yorkville Securities and Dan Ives, one of Wall Street's most recognized technology analysts and voices on artificial intelligence, today announced they are joining forces to form Yorkville Ives & Co. a modern merchant bank built for the next era of innovation and capital formation.
Yorkville Ives brings together two global brands: Yorkville Securities' buy-side experience of investing principal capital and deal-making prowess and Dan's world-class, globally followed technology research. Yorkville Ives is positioned to deliver an integrated platform for companies and investors navigating a period of significant market transformation.
A Model to Navigate Change
The next phase of growth across artificial intelligence, disruptive technology, energy transition, infrastructure, industrials, and other growth sectors, will require more than traditional investment banking. Companies and investors increasingly need a partner that combines differentiated market insight with strategic advice, flexible capital, and long-term alignment. Yorkville Ives brings those capabilities together under one platform. By investing capital alongside clients, the firm aligns its interests with the businesses and investors it serves.
"The fourth industrial revolution is here, and it needs a new kind of bank, a modern merchant bank. Research, banking, trading, and capital, all under one hood, all pointed at the biggest transformation the markets have ever seen," said Dan Ives, Partner and Senior Managing Director. "I looked for partners with deep Wall Street experience, a proven investing track record, great people, and the ability to move quickly. That's exactly what Yorkville brings to the table."
"The firms that will define the next decade won't simply advise clients, they'll invest alongside them," said Roger Briggs, Chief Executive Officer of Yorkville Ives. "That's been Yorkville's philosophy. Companies need a strategic partner that can help shape opportunities, structure transactions, provide capital, and stay engaged long after a deal closes. That's the modern merchant bank in this AI era we're building at Yorkville Ives."

- Debt and equity capital raising across public and private markets
- Principal investing alongside clients and partners
- Independent equity research across technology, AI, industrials, energy, infrastructure, and other growth sectors
