About

Institutional finance executive. Capital Markets specialist. Trusted partner.

Based in the Greater New York City area, I partner with leading growth-stage enterprises and institutional investors to navigate complex capital structures, market executions, and strategic scaling initiatives.

Background

Jonathon Rauen

I currently serve as Partner and Head of Capital Markets in the New York City Metropolitan Area at TCV, where I oversee global market strategy and execution frameworks for the firm's portfolio of high-growth technology companies.

Prior to TCV, I honed my foundational expertise in investment banking and capital markets at Morgan Stanley, advising clients on capital raising, M&A, and strategic transactions across institutional markets.

Before my finance career, I proudly served my country as an officer in the United States Navy — an experience that shaped my leadership philosophy and commitment to discipline, integrity, and mission-driven execution.
