Our Team

Leadership

Meet the experienced professionals behind BMN Capital Group.

W. David Jones

Managing Director

David has served as President and Managing Director of BMN Capital Group’s core enterprises for the past 15 years. Since 2013, he has personally introduced more than $20 million in direct investment capital to the public companies BMN has worked with, and has overseen and consulted on awareness campaigns that have generated market interest well in excess of hundreds of millions of dollars for profiled companies.

In addition to capital introductions and stock awareness, David works with a select network of accountants, auditors, securities attorneys, and other financial industry professionals to assist BMN’s client companies with stock registrations, regulatory filings, and financial reporting obligations.

David is also the Founder and Publisher of Wall Street Profit Search, the investor newsletter he launched in November 2012, and has been interviewed on CNN, CNBC, Fox Business News, and Fox News about companies the newsletter has covered — most notably during the 2010 Gold Bullion ATM launch that established the WSPS audience BMN’s client companies benefit from today.

Since 2010, David has additionally served as Senior Advisor to CVC International Ltd, a Grand Cayman-based private investment company that has been a significant source of funding for several public and private company projects.

Roy L. Howe

Chief Technology Officer

Roy is the Chief Technology Officer for BMN Capital Group and has overseen the production of our Wall Street Profit Search newsletter, email, social media, and digital advertising communications for the past 15 years.

He is a versatile Information Technology leader and Systems Engineer with over 20 years of experience driving operational efficiency and technical excellence. His career is defined by a unique blend of high-level strategic management and hands-on technical expertise, ranging from spearheading regional IT operations to providing Tier 1 system support and infrastructure coordination, as well as training hundreds of technicians and end-users.

For BMN’s client companies, Roy is the reason an awareness campaign actually reaches the market — he has built and maintained the WSPS publishing stack for 15+ years, including the email delivery infrastructure, subscriber database, digital advertising pipelines, and landing pages that host each Featured Profile. When a client company is profiled, deliverability decides whether the alert lands in front of an interested investor or in a spam folder, and that’s the problem Roy has spent two decades solving.

Richard D. Seay

Legal & Compliance

Richard is a South Florida-based attorney who has practiced in Florida State Courts and the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, for 47 years. He conducts fact checking and compliance reviews of BMN’s client companies prior to them being featured in our Wall Street Profit Search Stock Awareness Programs, and is also available to provide Rule 144 Legal Opinions to client company shareholders on a case-by-case basis.

Before a client company is featured in any WSPS Communication, Richard reviews the material for compliance and factual accuracy — cross-checking SEC filings, press releases, and other information against what is planned for publication, and holding the piece if anything doesn’t line up. His sign-off is why every BMN client company that is profiled has been independently vetted by a securities attorney before it reaches the market.

Richard’s nearly five decades of experience includes serving as a former State Prosecutor as well as public company managerial and supervisory experience, and he has served as in-house counsel for corporations as well as on public company boards of directors. He has substantial experience in SEC and Corporate Law and his practice areas include a wide variety of civil litigation including commercial litigation and business law.

A History of Disrupting Capital Markets

We have a history of being a disrupter in the capital markets since our inception in 2010 when we launched the first Gold Bullion Vending Machine in the United States in Boca Raton, Florida:

We identified the project for the public company that was seeking a novel way to enter the gold bullion sales market, traveled to Germany to compete with over 100 companies from around the world to acquire the US rights to the machine and raised the capital to implement the launch and associated business plan.
The resulting organic publicity was incredible, and our founder David Jones was featured in numerous live interviews over a period of weeks on CNN, CNBC, Fox Business News, Fox News and others….

Wall Street Profit Search — Gold ATM Report

Case Study

A 13-Year Capital Markets Partnership

In 2013, we began working with a U.S.-listed micro-cap company — at the time, an OTC biofuels concern. Within about a year, the company changed direction; eighteen months in, it became the first U.S. public company to own and operate a state-licensed medical cannabis dispensary. The engagement that followed lasted thirteen years.

The Capital Arc — $17M from a deep institutional network

Across the engagement we coordinated more than $17 million of direct investment capital. Over 90% of it came from a single Cayman Islands-based institutional fund with whom we’d built a multi-decade relationship. We continue to work with that fund today — with the late managing director’s wife, his successor, and the broader Cayman partnership, alongside additional U.S.-based institutional sources. That depth of relationship matters: we don’t depend on any single check-writer for any single client, and we’ve kept the network intact across leadership changes on both sides.

Every raise was shareholder-friendly. No floorless convertible debt, no toxic structures, no extractive financing. The Cayman fund managed its position actively across the years — selling and reinvesting in the company in the normal course of institutional capital management. Every dollar they took out went back in.

When the cannabis-industry collapse forced one reverse split — driven by market-wide repricing, not by any financing mechanic — the fund changed posture. From that point forward, they stopped selling. They held their position through the entire stretch that followed and continued providing fresh capital while we worked alongside the company on its options.

Some shareholders sold during the industry collapse, but the majority who backed the company at year one were still on the cap table at year thirteen — tested by cycles, diluted by raises, but anchored.

Strategic Guidance Beyond the Raise

A 13-year relationship is more than a capital pipeline. We handled licensing of domestic and international cannabis facilities; coordinated SEC filings (8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, S-1); managed DTC and OTCQB applications; and established the mainstream banking relationships the cannabis industry typically denies its operators. We advised on cap structure decisions, M&A and corporate development opportunities, exchange listing matters, and the constant strategic recalibration that public-company life demands.

Investor Awareness Through the Cycle

Coordinated stock awareness campaigns ran during the early years — at one point driving so much retail interest that our hosting infrastructure nearly went down. The stock traded several million dollars per day for months at a stretch; the awareness work helped build a base of over 7,000 shareholders. That liquidity is what made shareholder-friendly raises possible. Financiers compete differently for a name with deep retail engagement than they do for one without it.

The Conclusion

After more than thirteen years and significant evolution of the cannabis industry, the engagement concluded in 2025. The company has since transitioned out of cannabis and is exploring new opportunities. Industries change; what endures are the relationships and the principles — the capital partners we still work with today, and the conviction that growing a public company is incompatible with extracting from it.

Wall Street Profit Search — AFAI Trading Alerts & Track Record

Wall Street Profit Search — Cannabis Report

In addition to profiling companies we are working with, we have issued numerous Wall Street Profit Search Trading Alerts on broader market stocks such as TSLA, FNMA, RACE, TWTR and others, with follow-up trading guidance:

Take a look at the Wall Street Profit Search Newsletter that we released in September of 2025 that profiled Bullish, a NYSE IPO.
This report was issued at the request of some of the investor groups we work with in Grand Cayman and was sent to just over 20,000 subscribers that indicated they had an interest in receiving this type of message. The open rate was 25.46% with a click through rate of 75.9% — we provide detailed email data reports to our clients showing how many people opened the mail and clicked on the links, how long they viewed the different pages, etc.
When we released the report, the stock was trading at approximately $48–53 per share. Shortly thereafter it hit a high of approximately $70 per share, affording those included the positioning to take a short term profit of 25–30% depending on their trading timing.

Here is our most recent Wall Street Profit Search Buy Recommendation, issued April 22, 2026 on Compass Pathways (NASDAQ: CMPS), the most advanced psychedelic-medicine company in the world:

This report was sent to 19,785 subscribers that indicated they had an interest in receiving this type of message, and was delivered in under two minutes. The open rate was 25.49% with a click through rate of 86.56%.
When the report was released, CMPS was trading at approximately $9.30 per share after two successful Phase 3 trials, a rolling NDA filing at the FDA, and a newly announced Osmind clinic-readiness partnership. Six covering Wall Street analysts have a mean price target of $24.83 (median $16.50), and H.C. Wainwright’s outlier high is $70 — implying roughly 77–167% upside and a potential ~7x at the Street’s high target. This is positioned as a mid-to-long-term hold as Compass progresses toward commercial launch readiness by year-end 2026.

Wall Street Profit Search — CMPS Buy Recommendation

Through a 40-year personal relationship with one of the principals, we have access to an experienced advertising agency that produces commercials for public companies and is well-positioned to buy financial-media ad time at favorable rates:

Below are 4 recent commercials that they produced for public companies — none of which are WSPS Profiled Companies or involved BMN Capital Group for Investment Banking Consulting work. They’re included here as examples of what a 30-second, studio-quality commercial that runs only during market trading hours on CNBC, Fox News, and Fox Business News, paired with Google banner display ads on major financial websites including Yahoo Finance, Forbes, Bloomberg, WSJ, Nasdaq and others, can potentially do:

We may feature one of the agency’s future client companies in WSPS, or utilize the agency for a commercial on a BMN client company of our own.

SKYX Platforms Corp – NASDAQ: SKYX
(2 separate awareness campaigns)

The first SKYX campaign ran during October 2024. The stock price went from $0.80 to a high of $1.50 on volume of 13.8mm shares — a solid increase of 10mm shares over the previous month’s volume.
The second SKYX campaign ran for 2 months (January and February 2025). The stock price went from approximately $1.15 to over $2.13 on a 2-month combined volume of over 25 million shares, a roughly 50%+ increase over the average of the previous 6-month trading volume.

American Rebel Holdings, Inc. – NASDAQ: AREB

On March 28, 2025, American Rebel Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: AREB) issued a press release confirming they were starting a nationwide ad campaign on March 31 built around a 30 second TV commercial which included their NASDAQ trading symbol.
In a period of a few trading days the stock went from right around $1.00 per share to a high of over $20.00 per share on over $1B in market trading. The stock proceeded to trade several $B more at all prices in between for the next month and the interest was huge.

Venu Holding Corporation – NYSE American: VENU
(campaign focused on both underlying stock and a private placement)

The VENU campaign was spread out over approximately 4 months between May and August of 2025.
It was a hybrid investor awareness campaign for both their private offering (which raised over $3mm in one month) while simultaneously having an impact on the NYSE American listing of its common shares — VENU shares went from $7.50 to just over $18 per share.
The Company used the interest generated as a foundation to raise approximately $75mm in gross proceeds from its recent offering which just closed in March of 2026.

Lost Soldier Oil and Gas – not trading, Regulation D 506C Offering

Lost Soldier Oil and Gas followed a similar marketing path in 2025 using thousands of studio-quality commercials nationwide featuring a theme of their asset-rich properties in a prolific Wyoming basin.
In one month the Company raised just under $3mm on the interest generated and has used the interest and funding from the initial campaign to raise more capital to unlock what is purported to be the largest natural gas discovery in the Western U.S. in 40 years.

The metrics and scale that digital and TV advertising from our media partners can bring into stocks under the right set of circumstances can be truly amazing.

When combined with some of our services this can greatly multiply the effects and allow our client companies to reach their goals for capital raising and potentially create huge shareholder value.
