When Matt Angell and Trisha Tolbert decided to find a new owner for their pump and well services company, Madera Pumps, they were looking for shared values —someone who understood both their big dreams and the family environment they’d built.

That’s what they found in Axia, a water services vertical led by CEO Amanda Neilson and the newest division of Alpine Investors-backed platform, Alpine X. Angell and Tolbert reflect on the path to this partnership, explain why they chose Alpine and Neilson, and share their excitement for the future of Madera, Axia, and their team.
