Jeff “The Shredneck” Lavin
| Former Pro Athlete | Investment Banker| Fund Manager
I channel my passion for snowboarding, surfing, and pushing boundaries into every venture. That same discipline and drive now fuels my work in capital markets and business advisory, where I partner with founders and executives navigating growth, capital formation, and market expansion.
Capital Markets & Advisory As Managing Director at Oberon Securities, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, and Senior Partner at Pacific Capital Partners, I focus on lower middle market M&A advisory, private placements, and structured capital solutions. My work spans debt and equity syndication, fund and SPV formation, and capital raises across real estate, healthcare, specialty finance, natural resources, and alternative assets.
Debt & Equity Placements I support the placement of both debt and equity securities through Oberon Securities in accordance with FINRA regulations. Debt structures include senior secured, mezzanine, and bridge facilities. Equity work covers Reg D 506(b) and 506(c) private placements, co-investment structures, and preferred equity raises, distributed across Oberon’s network of institutional investors, family offices, RIAs, and accredited individuals.
Fund & SPV Formation I work with sponsors and operators on the structural setup of private funds and Special Purpose Vehicles, from PPM review to capital raise strategy, helping clients build the right vehicle for their investment thesis and investor base.
Advisory & Leadership I collaborate with founders and executive teams on capital raising strategy, regulatory navigation, and market positioning, drawing on experience across multiple asset classes and transaction types.

Some people network. We move.
Adventurepreneur brings together the kind of people who think clearest at altitude, make decisions under pressure, and build things worth building. Founders. Operators. Visionaries who’d rather earn trust on a mountain or race track than shake hands in a lobby.
The next event is in the works. You’ll want to be on the list.
Come As You Are
No agenda. No pitch decks. Just real conversations with people who show up fully, whether that’s on a ridgeline or around a fire.
If that sounds like your kind of room, let’s talk.
