Schwa Capital
Capital & Strategic Advisory

Where Capital
Meets Conviction.

Schwa Capital partners with exceptional companies at the intersection of capital markets, operating expertise, and transformational technology — providing the capital, strategy, and leadership required to scale.

What We Do

A Full-Stack
Partner for Growth

Schwa Capital deploys capital and expertise together — because the best outcomes require both.

01

Capital Investment

Schwa Capital takes direct equity positions in select portfolio companies and advises management teams on capital strategy — helping them structure and sequence future financing events, from early equity rounds through public markets, as an invested strategic partner.

02

Strategic Advisory

Board-level and C-suite advisory across corporate development, M&A, licensing, and strategic partnerships. We help management teams structure decisions that create durable value.

03

Operating Expertise

Access to an experienced bench of operating executives and advisors — enabling partner companies to attract leadership talent and build teams capable of executing at scale.

Focus Areas

Where We
Concentrate

Our mandate is broad. Our conviction is deepest in high-growth companies navigating strategic, regulatory, or capital complexity — where the stakes are high, the path is hard, and experience creates asymmetric value.

Core Focus

Capital Inflection Points

Companies at a pivotal moment in their capital evolution — preparing for an institutional raise, public listing, or strategic M&A. Situations where capital markets experience and the right relationships directly drive outcomes.

Core Focus

Emerging Technology

AI-enabled platforms, SaaS businesses, and technology companies with differentiated product moats, strong unit economics, and the leadership capacity to execute against a large and defensible market opportunity.

Active

Regulated Industries

Companies operating in complex regulatory environments — life sciences, fintech, defense, energy — where domain expertise, institutional relationships, and compliance mastery become durable competitive advantages.

Active

Strategic Transformation

Organizations navigating leadership transitions, commercial scale-up, competitive disruption, or a fundamental strategic pivot. Moments where the right framework, the right capital, and the right people create step-change outcomes.

Leadership

Built by an Operator,
Designed for Founders

Founder & Managing Director

The credibility to lead, the experience to execute.

David Marguglio is a capital markets executive, company builder, and serial entrepreneur with a track record of founding, financing, and scaling companies in highly regulated industries. He co-founded Adamis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ADMP) and led its public listing and more than $265 million raised across 20+ private and public capital markets transactions.

Over nearly two decades at Adamis, David served as Vice President, Senior Vice President, Chief Business Officer, and ultimately Chief Executive Officer — guiding the company from a two-person startup to a commercial-stage specialty pharma company with multiple FDA-approved products, including ZIMHI®, a high-dose naloxone injection for opioid overdose reversal, and Symjepi®, a pre-filled epinephrine injection. He negotiated landmark commercial partnerships with Novartis/Sandoz and US WorldMeds, achieving 50-state Medicaid reimbursement and formulary inclusion across all major PBMs.

David founded Schwa Capital to deploy this rare combination — operational discipline, capital markets expertise, and regulatory depth — in support of the next generation of high-growth companies. He serves as an investor, board director, and strategic advisor, with a particular focus on AI-enabled healthcare, digital health, and technology companies operating in complex regulatory environments.

Our Approach

No Single Formula.
Deep Conviction.

01

Committed Partners

We develop long-term, collaborative relationships with management teams. Our goal is to be the partner we wish we'd had — experienced, candid, and genuinely invested in your success.

02

Capital + Expertise Together

Financial capital alone isn't enough. We combine investment with hands-on strategic and operational support — from fundraising strategy to commercial execution and board governance.

03

Regulatory & Market Complexity

We're at our best when the path is hard. Companies navigating complex regulatory environments, capital markets transitions, or strategic inflection points are exactly where our experience creates the most value.

04

Talent as Infrastructure

Great companies are built by great teams. We offer access to a curated bench of operating executives, advisors, and board talent to help our partners build the leadership capacity required to scale.

"We don't believe there is a single formula for success. We believe there is a single prerequisite: the right people, with the right resources, making the right decisions."
