“Risk Comes From Not Knowing What You Are Doing.”

- Warren Buffett

David Lazar is currently the CEO of Activist Investing which specializes in "Turnaround Situations" via Activist Investing in distressed public companies. He along with his team are actively seeking high growth private companies who are looking to explore transitioning into the public markets.

David has been involved in the Capital Markets for nearly a decade. He has diverse knowledge of financial, legal and operations management; public company management, accounting, private placements, audit preparation, capital raising, due diligence reviews, and SEC regulations.

Other expertise include: capital restructuring, reverse merger, debt financing, SPAC, equity lines, and mergers and acquisitions. David has additional experience in assisting OTC listed companies prepare for a Nasdaq Uplisting.
At Activist Investing, we look for “diamonds in the rough". Companies which have long lost favour in the eyes of Wall Street and drastically need a comeback. We seek to invest in companies for which we can actively work with management in order to restore much needed shareholder value.

In other investment scenarios, when management is already on the right track, we merely invest to join in for the ride. Although this investment strategy comes with substantial high risk, we believe that it can bear great reward. Through our meticulous Due Diligence process that is conducted on every potential investment, we feel that we can properly mitigate our risk.


As Warren Buffett once said, “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”
