About
Patient Capital with Relevant (and Actually Useful) Experience
Nova Equity Partners' funding is drawn from several families seeking to make direct investments in private companies, avoiding the costly fees associated with outsourcing this strategy to traditional private equity firms. With a family office structure, Nova Equity Partners' capital is not beholden to any capital deployment or return timelines like traditional private equity firms and, as a result, allows the firm to focus on long-term growth strategies versus the typical "quick flip" private equity mentality.
​
Unlike most investment firms, Nova Equity Partners' team members have decades of experience as both investment and operations professionals. The unique experience of having invested in and operated businesses gives the firm a unique tool set to provide tangible support to the companies it invests in.

​
-
<$5M of earnings (EBITDA)
-
Founders seeking to re-invest and continue growing the business
- A general focus on the mid-Atlantic
-
