AVALT
AVALT began in 2019 when three former Bain Capital partners established the multi-family office in Boston. The founders structured the vehicle to manage their own private capital with long-duration ownership rather than fixed fund cycles. The firm commits to private equity and infrastructure. It takes control or large minority stakes and works with management teams on operational improvements. Confirmed co-investors include Northleaf Capital Partners on acquisitions such as WASH and AMAROK, and VantEdge Partners on the Wall Works Holdings platform. Activity centers on North America with additional reach into enterprise software opportunities. AVALT maintains a headquarters at 11 Arlington Street and a second Boston office at 79 Newbury Street. Senior advisors include Tiger Tyagarajan, CEO of Genpact, and George Neble, former EY Northeast Market Leader. The firm supports the Discovery Museum through separate philanthropic channels. Ownership remains with the founding principals, creating direct alignment between capital allocation and operational decisions without external limited partners or succession vehicles.
