AVALT

AVALT, founded in 2015 and headquartered at 11 Arlington Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is a private equity family office that invests its own capital. It was established by Ian Reynolds, Marko Kivisto, and Mark Verdi—three former senior partners at Bain Capital with extensive experience in global private equity, portfolio operations, and corporate leadership. The firm operates as a family-office-style investment vehicle with permanent capital and no external LPs, allowing for long-term, flexible investment horizons.

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. Sector focus includes business services, healthcare, consumer products, industrials, and technology/media/telecom (TMT). The team 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.
