Ethical Capital Partners is a Canadian private equity firm best known for its acquisition of Aylo, the owner of Pornhub. [1]

The company is chaired by businessman Rocco Meliambro. [2]

History

The company was founded in 2022 in Montreal. In March 2023, ECP acquired Aylo for an undisclosed sum. [3] The transaction occurred following a series of lawsuits against Aylo (formerly MindGeek) for hosting unlicensed or non-consensual content on its website. [4]
