Wahackme Group has a long and deep experience advising companies in the
consumer and retail sector dating back to the 1970's when our principals raised capital for Marshall Fields and then participated
in the defense of the company in a hostile takeover attempt by Carter Hawley Hale. Through the years, we have been involved
with numerous consumer products companies ranging in size from Rubbermaid to smaller companies like International Vitamin
and NuVim.This tradition continues today with the recent completion of a private placement for an etailer, Portero, the
IPO of Bare Escentuals and a PIPE for the international scooter manufacturer, Vmoto. In the restaurant and food industries,
we have worked with large companies like A & P, medium cap businesses like Ponderosa Steakhouse and smaller private
businesses like Specialty Coffee Holdings in raising growth capital in various public and private transactions.
