AVALT

Overview

AVALT is a private equity-focused family office that invests only its own principals' capital in high-quality companies with significant long-term potential. The firm builds collaborative partnerships with management teams, leveraging decades of private equity and industry experience to drive growth and positive change in their businesses. AVALT's permanent and flexible capital supports companies in achieving their full potential without regard to any fund structure or fixed time horizon. Founded in 2015 by former senior partners at Bain Capital—Ian Reynolds, Marko Kivisto, and Mark Verdi—AVALT focuses on control or majority investments in mid-sized companies, often serving as the first institutional capital partner. Typical equity investments range from $25 million to $150 million, targeting companies with $5–35 million in EBITDA. The firm's sector focus includes business services, healthcare, consumer products, industrials, and technology/media/telecom (TMT). AVALT takes a selective approach to dealmaking, concentrating on a small number of high-conviction investments to build strong partnerships with management. With more than $8 billion in realized equity across 40+ companies, the founders bring deep operational and financial expertise. AVALT adds value through strategic planning, M&A execution, and operational improvements—while minimizing unnecessary oversight. The firm's unique structure as a privately capitalized family office ensures close alignment with leadership teams and the flexibility to support sustainable, long-term business growth.
