Edward Hatfield

Edward R. Hatfield, who goes by Ted Hatfield, is Founder & CEO of Solebury Capital. Solebury’s official team page lists him as “Edward R. Hatfield, Founder & CEO” and publishes his direct firm email address. Solebury Capital says it advises corporate, financial sponsor, and venture-capital clients as they prepare to raise capital in the equity markets and as owners pursue efficient monetization strategies.

Hatfield co-founded Solebury Capital in 2005. Solebury Strategic Communications’ biography says he jointly led the firm into a leading equity capital markets advisory boutique and has nearly 30 years of Wall Street capital markets experience, including fixed income trading, equity underwriting, and ECM advisory. Solebury’s current About page says the firm has advised on over 860 engagements and nearly $400 billion in capital raised since founding.

Before Solebury, Hatfield spent 20 years at Credit Suisse, serving as Head of the U.S. Equity Syndicate Department for the Americas. In that role, he oversaw marketing, pricing, allocation, and trading for Credit Suisse’s North America-listed equity and equity-linked transactions, as well as U.S.-listed transactions marketed abroad. He also served on multiple Credit Suisse committees, including U.S. Equity Management, Global ECM Management, Equity Valuation, IPO Practices, and IPO Allocation Review.

Hatfield received a B.S. in Finance and Marketing from Lehigh University. Public sources did not verify the stub’s characterization of him as a seed-stage angel investor; the best-supported profile is capital markets adviser and founder/CEO of Solebury Capital.

• Focuses on helping companies prepare for and execute equity capital markets transactions rather than making disclosed seed-stage angel investments.
• Solebury’s stated target clients are corporate, financial sponsor, and venture-capital-backed companies preparing to raise equity capital or monetize ownership stakes.
• Solebury’s IPO advisory work covers bank selection, underwriting-group structure, fees, equity story development, analyst engagement, valuation, execution-window selection, marketing plans, roadshow audience quality, bookbuilding, pricing, allocations, and aftermarket trading.
• Solebury says it seeks “a higher level of control, transparency and insight” in an IPO process that can otherwise be opaque.
• Hatfield’s 2025 IPO-market view emphasized selectivity: he said the market was in the “third, maybe the 4th inning,” with “positive selection” allowing the best companies to come public first.
• In that same discussion, Hatfield said growth remains central: “Finding growth in a lower growth environment is going to be tough,” and companies that can demonstrate growth “regardless of sector” should get the best reception.
