CLIENT:
Cirrus Design

Aethlon’s relationship with Cirrus Aircraft began in 1996, when we raised the first outside round of equity capital for the company. We secured successive rounds of capital in subsequent years and initiated a strategic relationship with Arcapita, which purchased a 60% interest in Cirrus for $100 million. When Aethlon commenced its relationship with Cirrus, the company had $20 million in sales; in 2024, Cirrus surpassed $1 billion. Aethlon’s role earned national media recognition, underscoring our ability to help businesses reach new heights.

“Aethlon Capital was instrumental in helping Cirrus raise its Preferred A, B, and C round of equity capital at a critical time in the company's life cycle. Then after the large national investment we hired failed to deliver, we went back to Aethlon and they were able to raise $100 million for a controlling interest in our company. Aethlon is an investment bank you can trust.”
