north end

In 2018, Bella moved to Boston’s exciting and historic North End. The North End is one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods and is home to many historical landmarks such as Copp’s Hill, Old North Church, and Paul Revere’s House. The North End and surrounding areas contain a number of exciting attractions, restaurants, shops, and bars. On a typical evening, you can find members of the Bella team sailing in Boston Harbor, jogging along the Esplanade, attending a networking event downtown, or exploring the Boston Public Market’s locally-sourced artisanal food and drink selection.

our name

Dr. Josh Lerner lives on a farm in Hamilton, Massachusetts with his wife Wendy and a menagerie of horses, donkeys, sheep, rabbits, hens, dogs, and cats. In 2009, they came upon a newborn goat up for adoption and named her Bella. She quickly grew into a beloved family pet, riding along in the truck and befriending a donkey. When Bella Private Markets was incorporated in 2010, the firm was named in her honor.
