Your Strategic Private Equity Partners
Helping you create lasting industry value
At Avella Capital Fund, we are not your average private equity investors—we come from a strong background in the industrial, construction, and energy service sectors, which means we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty, taking our field operations just as seriously as the behind-the-scenes work. Our founder, an operations executive in the Appalachian Basin, grew up in a coal industry household, giving him a unique perspective on the fundamentals of the energy sector. This personal connection to the industry has given us the competitive edge we need to continuously transform standard services into world-class companies with highly accomplished teams across various sectors. From our very first exit in 2013, which resulted in a 65% annualized ROI, we continue to move the needle on our portfolio’s performance. Let us show you how.
