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

[edit]

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]
