AVANA Capital

At AVANA, their name says it all. With ancient Sanskrit roots, the term references someone who is a “preserver” or a “protector,” which they are in many ways. First, they help entrepreneurs preserve and protect their wealth through small business real estate ownership. As they support entrepreneurs acquiring large real estate investments by providing purchasing and refinancing options, they also help create and maintain jobs all across America and spur growth in local economies. In terms of investing, they additionally provide opportunities for accredited investors to grow their wealth via their debt fund which is similar to marketplace investing, but they don’t invite investors to join us until after they have funded a project. Their approach makes the process hassle-free and enables accredited investors to take advantage of institutional-quality returns. Guided by their sincere desire to preserve and protect, their primary objective as a private commercial real estate lender is to manage risk. They began under the name Crosspoint Capital in 2002 working closely with Southwest Capital Bank, and, with the support of the Levenson family, they set up their own fund as AVANA Capital in 2010. Since their inception, they have funded over $1 billion in real estate transactions in SBA, construction, and bridge lending programs and continue to pursue the same strategy of supporting small businesses and local economies by utilizing investor and institutional capital through their debt fund.
