Has anyone heard of these guys? Raised a $1.7b first time fund a couple years ago, seem to have done a few deals up to $1 billion or so. Not much PR. Couple Carlyle people at the top as well.

Ariel Alternatives is an intriguing player in the private equity space. They raised a $1.7 billion first-time fund, which is a significant achievement, especially for a debut fund. Their focus appears to be on deals up to $1 billion, which positions them in the mid-to-upper market range. The presence of former Carlyle executives at the helm adds credibility and suggests a strong pedigree in deal-making and fund management.
The limited public relations activity might indicate a preference for operating under the radar, which is not uncommon in private equity.
