Managing Partner
Isaac Levy founded LRV after several years of work on Wall Street and managing Masada Capital Partners, a firm dedicated to technology company investments. He knows the Search Fund space well because he has been involved in it for over 10 years and as a result has a successful track record. LRV has already made investments in five search funds and in four completed acquisitions under which one of them has already more than tripled its valuation in a 4-year period.
In addition, all the capital invested in that company was already returned to the investor along with compounded interest. Isaac holds an MBA in Finance and Entrepreneurship from USC and a BA in Economics with distinction from UCLA.
