Frequently asked questions
Who founded Falcon Affiliates and what was the source of the initial capital?
Falcon Affiliates was founded by Patrick J. Bartels Jr., a direct-mail advertising entrepreneur. The firm's initial capital base traces to the sale of Redan Media, the platform Bartels built and exited prior to forming the family office in 2017. That liquidity event provided the corpus that Falcon Affiliates was established to manage.
Where does Falcon Affiliates maintain its offices?
Falcon Affiliates operates from two locations: Tampa, Florida and Wayne, Pennsylvania. The dual footprint reflects the founder's personal and business ties, situating the office both in a Gulf Coast hub and within the Philadelphia metro area's established private-investment community.
How does Falcon Affiliates differ from a standard institutional investment firm?
Falcon Affiliates does not raise external capital, allowing it to bypass fund-lifecycle constraints and LP-imposed investment mandates. Its origin as the direct reinvestment vehicle for a single founder's liquidity event means every allocation is approved by the same principal who earned the original capital, collapsing the principal-agent gap that exists at firms managing third-party money.
