Meet Our Founder

Evan Pieczenik is a visionary entrepreneur, capital strategist, and the founder of Tel Stone Capital Group, built on the mission of helping businesses—from startups to $500M+ enterprises—access funding with integrity, empathy, and long-term vision. His goal is simple yet bold: to build the greatest of all time capital advisory experience for founders and CEOs at every stage of growth.

Evan graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a degree in Business Management, where he launched his first business reselling sample textbooks to students at affordable prices. He went on to break records at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, becoming the fastest employee promoted to Assistant Manager and later leading one of Michigan’s highest-performing branches.

After transitioning into pharmaceuticals, Evan played a pivotal role in scaling Midway Dental from $8 million to $150 million in revenue—ultimately contributing to its $120 million acquisition by Henry Schein. He then entered the finance industry as a Funding Coordinator at Kingdom Kapital, where he personally funded over $60 million in revenue-based and MCA deals.

In 2022, Evan founded Goat Capital, a firm dedicated to freeing business owners from the MCA cycle by offering alternative financing solutions including SBA loans, equipment funding, real estate financing, and free credit repair. The firm’s name—GOAT—stands for Greatest Of All Time, a standard of service Evan strives to meet by putting himself in the client’s shoes every time.

After briefly serving as Managing Partner at Finkelstein Cap in 2025, Evan launched Tel Stone Capital Group to continue the legacy of Goat Capital and serve an even wider range of clients with the same core values: honesty, loyalty, empathy, and integrity.

A cancer survivor, longtime 5am Club member, and certified trick dog trainer, Evan leads with grit and grace—and builds companies with a relentless commitment to excellence.
