What Aventa Capital buys
Aventa Capital is a lower middle market buyout firm led by founder and managing partner Sam Elsaadi, who held investing roles at TPG Capital, Lightview Capital and Huron Capital. It buys majority stakes in US companies with $1 million to $15 million of EBITDA, puts in $5 million to $50 million of equity per deal and plans to hold for four to seven years. It works in three areas: technology (MSPs, managed security, compliance and hosting, and IT implementation), business services (HVAC, fire, asphalt and other facility services, last-mile logistics and outsourced business processes) and healthcare (provider services, revenue cycle management, diagnostics and healthcare IT).
Aventa does leveraged buyouts, corporate carve-outs and purchases of family-held companies, and it names retiring founders as a typical seller. It owns two platforms, Uptime USA in managed IT on the West Coast and ClimaCore in commercial HVAC in the Northeast, and both are adding companies. A smaller MSP or HVAC contractor in those regions could join one of them as an add-on.

Greymont’s take
How Aventa Capital fits a seller
Aventa suits owners of MSPs and commercial HVAC or mechanical contractors, especially a founder getting ready to retire or a family that wants to sell control. The firm is small, with one managing partner and one operating partner, so an owner deals directly with the person who decides. Its add-ons so far have left the acquired company's people and offices in place: M2 Mechanical's local managers still run its Exeter office, and 415 IT kept its brand after joining Uptime.
Aventa does not disclose a committed fund, so an owner should ask how the equity for a deal is raised and how much of the price would be paid at closing versus rolled into the new company. It is also worth asking whether the business would start a new platform or become an add-on, because that decides who runs it after the sale.
