Lisa Barnes

Barnes Associates, Inc. is a Saint Louis–based advisory and consulting firm that positions itself as "Advisors & Consultants to the Security Alarm Industry." The firm was founded by Michael Barnes and specializes in mergers and acquisitions, capital-raise assistance, performance benchmarking, and strategic planning for security-alarm and electronic-security companies. Per the firm's own materials, it has been involved in well over 260 transactions with aggregate value in excess of $27 billion across roughly three decades, and it co-hosts the annual Barnes Buchanan Security Conference, a widely followed industry event on alarm-company valuations and financing.

Lisa Barnes is listed among the firm's Saint Louis–based team members (alongside founder Michael Barnes, Joe Thompson, and others), with the contact details shown above. Beyond her association with the firm and its office location, no public biography, education history, titled role, or dated career record for this specific Lisa Barnes could be verified. The firm's public site does not publish an individual bio, title, or headshot for her.

Because "Barnes" is also the founder's surname, and she is co-located in the firm's Saint Louis headquarters, her connection to the firm appears close, but the exact nature of her role (e.g., operations, finance, or administration) is not documented in any source I could confirm and is therefore left unstated rather than guessed.

• No public, verifiable statement of a personal angel-investing thesis, stage preference, check size, or sector focus exists for this individual. The stub's "Seed Round" designation is unsupported by any source found.
• At the firm level, Barnes Associates' actual focus is advisory work — M&A, capital raising, and valuation/benchmarking — concentrated in the security alarm and electronic-security industry, primarily in the United States. This is transaction advisory, not seed-stage venture or angel investing.
