First Avenue Partners is a Nashville-based private investment firm organized as a family office. It targets growing companies across the United States, aiming to build long-term value by partnering with management and shareholders. The firm prefers non-control equity positions and supports growth, expansion, management-led buyouts, and recapitalizations, typically providing board-level involvement to drive strategic and operational improvements. With a generalist approach, the firm concentrates on four focus areas: Healthcare, Consumer, Distribution & Logistics, and Outsourced Business Services. It maintains a flexible structure that accommodates co-investment and syndication with other groups when appropriate. The organization has its roots in 1998, when David Wilds established the business in Nashville.
