Craig Marshak is a veteran 20 year investment banker, having graduated Duke University in 1981, then Harvard Law School in 1985. Mr. Marshak had a one year Roger Alan Opel scholarship to the London School of Economics from 1979 to 1980. After joining Wertheim & Co. in the corporate finance department, he moved to London, England in 1993 to head up the Cross Border and International Finance efforts between Schroders Investment Bank and Wertheim. During this period, Mr. Marshak advised the Government of Israel on the Privatization of Israel Chemicals as the lead Financial Advisor and Investment Banker, and played a leading role in the listing of Koor Industries on the New York Stock Exchange. He later became one of the four founding investment bankers in the establishment of the London offices of Robertson Stephens. As such, he acted as Joint Lead Book Runner on the listing of Check Point Software on NASDAQ (symbol CHKP, market cap $15 billion), advised on the entry of Applied Materials to Israel (AMAT), and advised on the merger of Telegate and Terayon, among others. He subsequently moved to the London offices of Nomura Securities, where he ultimately became co-head of a $ 400 million investment and merchant banking fund focusing on merchant banking and investments into technology related companies, with an emphasis on Israel Silicon Valley.
While at Nomura, Mr. Marshak is credited as having first identified Israel Seed Partners, backing Jonathan Medved and Michael Eisenberg in their first fund, with early funding from the Nomura Fund. Mr. Marshak thereafter subsequently provided the first round institutional funding for DealTime / Shopping.com. Shopping.com was later sold to EBAY for over $600 million. Mr Marshak arranged the first institutional round to Cyber Ark on a $ 25 mm pre money valuation which listed on NASDAQ and was recently sold to Palo Alto Networks for $ 25 billion valuation. This is second largest sale of an Israeli company in Israel history.
More recently, Mr. Marshak has been a co-founder, and has acted as Chairman of the Bannix Acquisition Corp, a $115 million Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The focus of Bannix is to primarily seek acquisitions in the Israeli technology sector. Bannix recently bought Vision Wave, and trade at a $200 million evaluation.
Mr. Marshak also arranged for an early round investment into INX, the first crypto trading platform to receive USA Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory approval.
