Philosophy

AV Capital believes that market leading companies are built through an unwavering commitment to partnership, a shared vision for long-term growth, and tightly aligned incentives

WE CULTIVATE STRONG RELATIONSHIPS

We are a financial partner, not a purchaser
We back talented management teams, not companies
We bring value through strategic decision making, not day-to-day operations

WE MAINTAIN A LONG TERM PERSPECTIVE

We are committed to getting the transition to institutional ownership right
We encourage calculated risk-taking with modest use of leverage
We do not risk capital loss to generate outsized returns

WE ALIGN INCENTIVES

We expect management to rollover meaningful equity alongside our investment
We invest significant personal capital alongside our investors and management teams for better alignment
We reward management for growth and allocate equity to those in the organization who create value
