Av Capital

AV Capital is an Austin-based private equity firm that makes control investments in entrepreneur and family-owned middle market companies. AV Capital is owned and managed by Vernon Bryant and Dave Alter, former leaders of the Middle Market investment practice at Austin Ventures, one of the most established venture capital firms in the nation with $3.9 billion under management and a 30+ year track record of investing in entrepreneurial businesses. We are focused on partnering with talented management teams to transition closely-held middle market companies to institutional ownership and accelerate growth. As relationship-oriented investors, we bring a patient approach and a long term perspective to building market leading companies. The AV Capital investment team has deployed in excess of $550 million of equity capital in 11 platform companies and delivered outstanding investment returns. We seek to invest $15 million to $75 million of equity capital in companies with $4 million to $25 million of EBITDA. We invest in niche manufacturing, specialty distribution, and business services companies across a variety of end markets. Business owners have chosen to partner with us because of our strong values and culture, our extensive investment experience and network of relationships, and our history of success in supporting our management teams to grow outstanding middle market companies.
