September 1, 2025 – New York, NY — We are thrilled to share that Seaport Global’s Strategic Partner, Blaylock Van, has issued their 2024–25 Impact Report.
As a mission-driven firm, Blaylock Van remains dedicated to creating meaningful impact across the communities where it lives and works, guided by three core pillars: Clients, Employees, and Community Partners.
This year’s report highlights several key milestones, including becoming one of the first MBE’s to serve as joint bookrunner in 2025, participating in $203 billion of corporate debt transactions year-to-date, and serving as the only minority-owned investment banking firm on the global Impact Disclosure Taskforce. But what resonates with the Blaylock Van team most is how they continue to live their mission every day.
Other highlights include deepening investments in one of their focus areas—workforce development for young, underrepresented individuals—through continued support of organizations like buildOn, which has contributed to over 2,800 schools built globally and more than 2.5 million hours of U.S. youth service. Eric Standifer, CEO of Blaylock Van, also serves on the National Board of buildOn, reinforcing this commitment at the leadership level. Blaylock Van also expanded partnerships with organizations such as CancerCare and Hope Atlanta, delivering critical health and housing support to communities across the country.
