Newsom logo“Steve Weintz did a great job on the sale of Newsom Oil and LP Gas. He advertised the deal on a national basis, and we received over fifty inquiries, had multiple offers, and closed the sale in just over a month.

Steve was on top of every detail from writing the offering prospectus to qualifying and negotiating with prospective buyers to get the best offer from a compatible buyer.

Steve worked with the attorneys, crafted the term sheet, and helped review all the closing documents that included real estate, fixed assets inventory, and blue sky.

It was an efficient and thorough process and I’m very satisfied with the outcome and grateful for Steve’s professional work and expertise.”

Kevin Vincent

President, Newsome Oil & LP Gas

“I’m a strategic planner and numbers kind of guy, but I understand that behind the numbers there is always a story. Steve Weintz is extremely talented in telling the story behind the numbers. Steve did an excellent job communicating the story of Blackfin Rods—how we got started, who we are and where we’re headed. His work led to a successful investor partnership that is a turning point for the Company. Steve is creative, thorough, and a real pleasure to work with.”

Steve Weintz is a highly experienced and well connected professional who proved to be a godsend to our company at a time when it was critical that we find the right investor – one who could appreciate the value in our team and technology when no conventional lender would.  This was not an easy task, as ours is a highly specialized technical company. Steve’s tireless and intense efforts, together with his extensive network, led to the perfectly matched technical investor, a dramatic increase in business, and the financial basis for a major new product in analytical instruments for biochemical research.
