Boston Meridian Partners

Boston Meridian Partners is run by co-founders John Siracuse and C. Garrett Palm, who oversee all engagements. Managing directors Matthew Hicks, Shawn Anderson, and Anuj Ralhan, along with director Michael Sullivan, execute transactions. The firm operates with a partner-led model where each engagement receives senior attention from all partners (per the firm's website).

Boston Meridian concentrates exclusively on cybersecurity and governance, risk, and privacy companies. Its team includes former technology founders and operators who maintain deep relationships in the sector. The firm also partners with OODA, a global security risk advisory, and Hitch Partners, an information security executive search firm, to generate opportunities.

Boston Meridian is not a family office. It is an independent M&A advisory and investment banking firm that provides sell-side advisory, growth capital raises, and recapitalization services to growth-stage technology companies. It does not invest proprietary capital on behalf of a family or institution.

Boston Meridian focuses on growth-stage private companies and small-cap public companies in the cybersecurity sector. It advises on M&A transactions (sell-side), growth equity raises, recapitalizations, and strategic advisory engagements.

The firm deliberately restricts its practice to cybersecurity and closely related areas — governance, risk, and privacy. It does not pursue engagements in other technology verticals such as fintech, digital health, or enterprise software outside that security perimeter.

The firm does not disclose any philanthropic foundations or charitable vehicles. As an advisory business, any personal philanthropy by principals is separate from the firm's operations.

Boston Meridian is an advisor, not an investor. It does not co-invest alongside GPs as a limited partner. Its role is to represent sellers or raise capital for clients, not to deploy its own balance sheet.
