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.
