Reviving Challenged Assets.
Realizing Latent Potential.
Velde Equity
Velde Equity is an operator-led special situations investment firm that partners with corporate, financial, and founding sponsors, as well as lenders, to revive challenged assets and elevate businesses with latent potential. We bring flexible capital solutions, embedded turnaround and transformation leadership, and a positive-sum philosophy to drive enduring performance and outsized returns.
Operator-Led Capital for Special Situations
Operator-led secondaries for lender workouts and legacy fund assets
We act as a constructive 'workout group' for private credit and private equity. We step in with specialized operational focus and fresh equity, protecting principal and unlocking liquidity where internal bandwidth or mandates are constrained.
Adaptive operator-led underwriting for broken auctions and complex mandates
When "hair on the deal" stalls a process, we provide certainty. We utilize adaptive capital solutions to underwrite the future operational fix rather than past performance, turning stuck mandates into closed transactions.
Operator-led stabilization and transformation for sub-scale divisions and corporate orphans
We acquire sub-scale, non-core assets that drain resources from corporate sponsors. Our model allows corporate parents to divest the distraction while retaining the strategic optionality of a revitalized independent platform.
