What Our Partners Say About Us

  • Working with AEP has been a transformative experience. Their insight, support, and resources have driven meaningful improvement and growth in our business and empowered our team to excel – this is private equity at its best.

    - Rich Hill, Business Owner, CEO, Board Member  

  • “The AEP team is laser-focused, collaborative, and highly effective. I partnered with AEP's leadership in many capacities including as an operator in a business that went to IPO, a portco board member, and as an investor. They are extraordinary value creators, and it was a privilege to work with them."

    - Bryan Yeazel, Board Member

  • "My work with the team was exceptionally fulfilling in turning around our Company. We adopted a key base of transformational objectives in the Company's core functional disciplines, and with their support, re-engineered our culture to be value-driven through accountability. We went from significant losses to market sector "best-in-class", and could not have done this without their leadership and support."

    - Craig Stoud, CEO

  • "We sold our 99-year-old family business to Angeles Equity Partners, enabling a full exit for our shareholders. I remained involved as a board member, which gave me a front-row seat to the thoughtful transformation led by the Angeles team. Over just a few years, they built a strong leadership team, implemented a clear strategic plan, completed 10 tuck-in acquisitions, and significantly improved operational performance. The results were impressive—they quadrupled EBITDA and achieved above average, double digit margins. Partnering with Angeles for our ownership transition was the right choice."

    - Carrie Meek, Business Owner, Board Member

  • “I have had the privilege of being involved in various business roles with the founders of Angeles for over 15 years; as a member of the C-Suite of a major multi-billion dollar carve out which led to a very successful IPO, as a CEO of a successful Angeles backed buy and build investment strategy in the building products distribution sector, and as an expert advisor to the firm. Working closely with Angeles over the years, I can attest to their exceptional strategic insight, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Their ability to navigate complex business situations and challenges with integrity and efficiency makes them an invaluable asset to any organization.”

    - James Drexinger, CEO

  • “For nearly 30 years, I have dedicated myself to building a service organization ready for transformational growth. After being introduced to Angeles Equity Partners by one of their A-Team advisors, I knew I had found the right partner to take that vision to the next level. Their exceptional track record of scaling founder-led businesses, deep industrial expertise, and commitment to operational excellence make them the ideal partner. With their strategic guidance and shared values, I’m confident we will accelerate our trajectory and establish the definitive market leader in commercial surface restoration and maintenance.”

    - Michael Crippen, Founder, CEO
