AV Capital

AV Capital is owned and managed by Vernon Bryant, a former co-leader 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 nearly $700 million of equity capital in 13 platform companies and delivered outstanding investment returns. 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 management teams to grow outstanding middle-market companies.
