Nolan Capital

Nolan Capital

Nolan Capital was established in 2014 by Peter Nolan to serve as the family office for his personal capital. Nolan previously spent 17 years as Managing Partner at Leonard Green & Partners and continues as a Senior Advisor there. The wealth originates from his private equity career spanning more than 40 years. The firm targets buyout and growth equity investments in private companies. It also allocates to real estate, vineyards, and other operating assets. Asset classes include direct equity, real estate, and select commercial properties. Investments span North America and Asia. The firm structures deals as direct co-investments or SPVs and works with existing owners and management teams on conservative capital structures. Nolan Capital maintains a team of investment and operations professionals at its Hermosa Beach headquarters. Adjacent vehicles include the Stephanie and Peter Nolan Foundation. Peter Nolan serves on boards and councils including Cornell University Board of Trustees and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Foundation. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. The firm’s structure differs from traditional private equity because it uses permanent single-family capital rather than committed third-party funds. This removes pressure for dividend recaps or rapid exits and allows full flexibility across industries and the capital structure.
