Adams Harkness

Adams Harkness was a prominent Boston-based investment bank that specialized in providing research, brokerage, and investment banking services to emerging growth companies. The firm was particularly well-regarded for its deep expertise in the healthcare, life sciences, and technology sectors. It played a significant role in the mid-market space, helping numerous biotech and medical device companies with initial public offerings and mergers and acquisitions. Known for its high-quality equity research, the firm hosted influential annual conferences that connected institutional investors with emerging industry leaders. In 2005, the firm was acquired by Canaccord Capital to expand its presence in the United States and strengthen its global technology and healthcare practices. Following the acquisition, it was integrated into what is now known as Canaccord Genuity.
