FUNDING TYPE

Venture Capital

CAN YOU GET THIS?

You need to be a profitable, North American middle market business with $10–$75M EBITDA.

Avance targets founder-owned or management-led businesses in Business & Technology Services, Infrastructure & Commercial Services, Consumer Products & Services, or Financial & Insurance Services. They look for strong cash flow and scalable business models, not early-stage startups.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Avance has backed roughly 11 portfolio companies over 15+ years, so deal volume is selective.

This is a focused middle market PE firm, not a broad fund writing many checks. Competition comes from other well-run businesses at the right revenue and EBITDA thresholds, and fit with their STAGE™ value creation framework matters.

WHAT IT TAKES

Confirm fit: revenue $25–$250M, EBITDA $10–$75M, North American base, target sector — 1–2 days
Contact Avance directly via their website or through an intermediary/advisor — 1 week
Initial meetings and management diligence — 4–8 weeks
Negotiation and close — 2–4 months

WORTH KNOWING

Avance specifically calls out founder-owned businesses seeking transition and management teams wanting a hands-on growth partner — framing your outreach around alignment and partnership, not just capital, matches their stated culture.
