Caprice Capital Partners, LLC recently underwrote, agented, and served as a sole lender on a Senior Secured Credit Facility for AVIAN, Inc. Proceeds from Caprice’s financing were used by AVIAN to complete its first strategic acquisition of Level Up LLC.

“The Caprice team was a pleasure to work with,” said John Verdon, AVIAN’s Chief Financial Officer. “They were able to creatively structure a financing solution that fit our unique requirements as an employee-owned company.”

Founded in 2005 by two U.S. Military test pilots, AVIAN is an employee-owned business with over 300 employees and annual revenue exceeding $72 million. Headquartered in Lexington Park, Maryland, the company provides engineering design and systems engineering; test and evaluation of manned and unmanned aerial, surface, and subsurface systems; program, financial, and logistics management; workforce development and training; and communication strategy and graphic design solutions to more than 80 government and commercial clients across the country.
