Patria Private Capital

Guido Fileppo, the founder, personally sources, evaluates, and executes all transactions. The firm's website states that Fileppo assumes a full-time operational role within the acquired company, meaning the investment and management decisions ultimately sit with him. No investment committee or external partners are disclosed.

No. Patria describes itself as a private investor rather than a fund manager, purchasing a single company to operate indefinitely. It is independent of management fees and commissions, and the founder personally moves into the business full-time after the acquisition.

Patria targets small and medium-sized companies based in Italy with a turnover above €5 million, EBITDA of €1–5 million, and EBITDA margins exceeding 15%. The firm looks for established competitive advantages, stable cash flows, fragmented competition, and a strong need for ownership transition, such as generational handover.

No. The firm's objective is to acquire and operate a single business, departing from the conventional portfolio model. The founder's full commitment to one company is a stated structural differentiator.

The firm's public materials do not list any explicitly excluded sectors, but the investment criteria point strongly toward niche Italian manufacturing and services with an export-quality or 'Made in Italy' component. Commodity, speculative, or highly leveraged businesses fall outside the stated EBITDA, margin, and stability thresholds.
