The sponsor team (the “Sponsors”) is a consortium of SuRo Capital and principals of Farvahar Partners and Torch Capital who have come together to leverage their combined expertise and differentiated relationship network to identify and execute attractive business combination opportunities. The team is led by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Omeed Malik and Chief Financial Officer, Joe Voboril. Over the course of their seasoned careers, our executive team has become trusted partners to owners, operators, and tastemakers across a variety of industries including social media, sports, music, and entertainment. Many of the companies our management team has operated or advised have also been affiliated with celebrity or influencer partners who leverage their platforms to amplify the brand and drive growth.
The respective areas of expertise within our Sponsor consortium are complementary and mutually reinforcing to our efforts. Our sourcing origination and identification efforts will largely be driven by principals of Farvahar Partners, which have developed significant long-term relationships in the consumer and technology ecosystem in its capacity as a boutique investment bank and advisor to such companies, and by principals of Torch Capital, early-stage investors with deep ties to consumer brands. Alongside these efforts, we believe that SuRo Capital Corp.’s significant investing experience in growth stage institutionally backed companies, paired with our CFO Joe Voboril’s extensive investing and structuring experience, will enhance our ability to assess potential targets and investment opportunities. Eddie Kim has helped to build what we believe to be outstanding consumer brands across a variety of categories and will act as a key strategic advisor to any target. Finally, post-acquisition, our relationship with our board member and Triller co-founder Ryan Kavanaugh will allow us considerable access to celebrities and influencer partners to drive brand recognition, customer engagement, and market reach.
In sum, we believe our extensive network of relationships with tastemakers across music, sports, film, social media, and television will enhance our ability to source and execute a successful business combination as well as accelerate the growth trajectory and market reach of the acquired business.

The sponsor team (the “Sponsors”) is a consortium of SuRo Capital and principals of Farvahar Partners and Torch Capital who have come together to leverage their combined expertise and differentiated relationship network to identify and execute attractive business combination opportunities. The team is led by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Omeed Malik and Chief Financial Officer, Joe Voboril. Over the course of their seasoned careers, our executive team has become trusted partners to owners, operators, and tastemakers across a variety of industries including social media, sports, music, and entertainment. Many of the companies our management team has operated or advised have also been affiliated with celebrity or influencer partners who leverage their platforms to amplify the brand and drive growth.
The respective areas of expertise within our Sponsor consortium are complementary and mutually reinforcing to our efforts. Our sourcing origination and identification efforts will largely be driven by principals of Farvahar Partners, which have developed significant long-term relationships in the consumer and technology ecosystem in its capacity as a boutique investment bank and advisor to such companies, and by principals of Torch Capital, early-stage investors with deep ties to consumer brands. Alongside these efforts, we believe that SuRo Capital Corp.’s significant investing experience in growth stage institutionally backed companies, paired with our CFO Joe Voboril’s extensive investing and structuring experience, will enhance our ability to assess potential targets and investment opportunities. Eddie Kim has helped to build what we believe to be outstanding consumer brands across a variety of categories and will act as a key strategic advisor to any target. Finally, post-acquisition, our relationship with our board member and Triller co-founder Ryan Kavanaugh will allow us considerable access to celebrities and influencer partners to drive brand recognition, customer engagement, and market reach.
In sum, we believe our extensive network of relationships with tastemakers across music, sports, film, social media, and television will enhance our ability to source and execute a successful business combination as well as accelerate the growth trajectory and market reach of the acquired business.
