Mr. Kinne, Managing Director at George Smith Partners and Co-Founder and CEO of AXCS Capital, has arranged in excess of $4BB in total capitalized value of complex debt and equity financings. Recent notable transactions that Evan and his team have completed include several large-scale hospitality developments, multifamily, industrial, and mixed-use projects that required multiple capital sources and substantial financial structure.

Prior to joining the firm, Evan was a Vice President at Watertower Group, a boutique advisory focused on dynamic and innovative companies shaping technology, consumer internet, and digital media. He has advised over 20 internet, technology, and media companies on Series A–D equity capital formation and M&A.
