EPL Group
EPL Group was established in 2018 by Jerome Davant. Its wealth traces to EnergyPowerLab, the energy-sector executive search and consulting business Davant founded. The office allocates across direct co-investments, SPVs, and private equity mandates while maintaining affiliations with Institut Walden and Club Emergences. Capital deploys into two pillars. Lower-middle-market private equity acquires and consolidates businesses generating $5M to $100M in revenue across North America. Venture activity occurs through xPL Ventures at Series A+ in North America and through xpansionIQ for European companies entering the United States. Confirmed positions and mandates include climate technology, logistics software, and construction-related private credit. Geographic coverage centers on North America and Europe. No public headcount or AUM figures exist. The firm lists an operational address in Miami and maintains a registered address in Lewes, Delaware. Adjacent vehicles include the philanthropic Institut Walden. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The structural difference lies in the founding shareholder stakes in xPL Ventures and xpansionIQ. These positions generate non-intermediated deal flow and co-investment rights that feed both the LMM private equity vehicles and the venture strategy without external intermediaries.
