KENNETH A EPSTEIN - PRINCIPAL (Silicon Valley)

Mr. Epstein brings to NewCap Partners more than 20 years of international investment banking and venture management experience, including P&L responsibility for both major business units and startups. His diverse client bases include small, midcap and private high-tech and life science companies, large corporate venture funds, strategic equity investors, and family-owned businesses.

Ken's transaction experience encompasses selling and buying companies, negotiating global marketing and production alliances and joint ventures, as well as providing advisory services for strategic planning, acquisition and valuation. For the last four years, he has focused his efforts on M&A activities in the advanced materials, healthcare/life science, energy, environmental, semiconductor, and general manufacturing areas with an increasing concentration on US/China and US/China/Japan interactions.

With an extensive background in materials, Ken also advises clients aggressively seeking expansion opportunities into new markets (e.g. nanotechnology) about the acquisition of companies that have technology, software, and materials that can be used broadly in aerospace, industrial manufacturing, semiconductor, transportation, and energy and power markets.

Prior to joining NewCap, Ken founded Epstein & Associates, a Northern California based consulting firm specializing in strategy development and implementation of mergers, divestitures, acquisitions, and growth of both small companies (<$50 million) and divisions of large companies.

Ken started his global, multi-functional career with the Dow Chemical Company. After several years in R&D and Sales, he spent the majority of his Dow career as a corporate venture manager investing in global companies and technologies in the material, semiconductor equipment, energy (fuel cells, solar), high-performance engine (jets, trucks, and cars), precision tool, and construction industries. He has been doing strategic partnering in China since the late 1980's. He also started businesses in electronics, precision tools, and construction, bought and sold numerous small companies, and negotiated a variety of joint ventures and strategic alliances in North America, Europe, and Asia. During several stints overseas, Ken led the startup of electronics packaging & contruction materials businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil and Argentina.

Ken holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Rhode Island, and an MBA in International Finance from the University of Michigan.
