In just a few short years, the Ferrari family transformed a personal tragedy into a beacon of hope and success—not just for themselves but for their clients. Five years after its founding, Phoenix Capital Group has emerged from the proverbial ashes with a mission to deliver consistent value to landowners and investors in the oil and gas industry. Today, thanks to its unique client-centric approach, the company is widely regarded as a leader and innovator in the sector—one that unlocks the full, long-term potential of mineral assets.
This is the story of Phoenix Capital Group and its journey from inception to industry leader.
Tragedy Sparks Purpose
The Ferrari family’s lives were turned upside down in 2017 when Daniel Ferrari was left paralyzed from the neck down following a routine flu shot. While the tragedy imposed physical limitations on Daniel and challenged his entire family, he refused to be held back. Fueled by determination and mental fortitude, Daniel forged ahead. Inspired by the mythical phoenix—which symbolizes resilience, hope, and rebirth—Daniel and his family started Phoenix Capital Group just two years after the tragedy.
The company began with humble roots, grounded in a deep understanding of Midwestern values. In that foundational year, Daniel and Charlene Ferrari established Lion of Judah Capital, LLC, with a vision to make direct investments in the upstream oil and gas industry through the newly formed Phoenix Capital Group. Drawing from their past experiences on factory floors, navigating small business complexities, and valuing honest labor, the Ferraris focused on the common worker and honest work principles. These experiences form the core principles of Phoenix Capital Group.
Value Built from the Ground Up
Phoenix Capital Group employs a unique approach to maximize the value of landowners’ mineral rights assets. The company assists these landowners by providing pre- and post-transaction support, guidance on tax aspects, and investment vehicles with the potential to yield high returns. By helping landowners understand the true value of their assets, Phoenix Capital Group aims to ensure peace of mind and consistency through accurate evaluations, private corporate bond offerings, and other investment opportunities.
One of the company’s primary goals is to create investment longevity for landowners and individual investors alike. Phoenix Capital Group aims to achieve this by identifying and implementing unique solutions that help establish generational, long-term wealth.
Hitting Milestones from Day One
Since beginning software development in 2019, Phoenix Capital Group has consistently achieved impressive milestones. By December 2020, the company surpassed $8.5 million in revenue, $1.8 million in net gain, and $4.9 million in EBITDA. In December 2022, the company exceeded $57.5 million in revenue and $24.6 million in EBITDA—increases of 576% and 402%, respectively.
In the fall of 2023, Phoenix Capital Group’s Operating program commenced with work in the Williston Basin. By May 2024, Phoenix Operating reached two significant milestones: completing the drilling of the first 20 wells in North Dakota and setting a three-mile horizontal drilling record on the Daniele Pad.
Client-Centric Service and Technological Innovation
Phoenix Capital Group sets itself apart from other companies in the oil and gas industry through its dedication to client-centric service and technological innovation. The company is committed to transparency in all its operations and seeks to educate landowners so they can gain true insights into the value of their mineral rights assets. By equipping landowners with the tools needed to navigate asset management intricacies, Phoenix Capital Group democratizes access to high-yield investment opportunities through Regulation A+ and Regulation D offerings.*
The company’s commitment to technological innovation has propelled it ahead in the oil and minerals industry. Its proprietary software suite enables quick analysis of potential mineral rights investments, allowing for timely and strategic decisions. This innovative approach, combined with Phoenix Capital Group’s focus on fostering an inclusive investment environment, is ushering in a new era in mineral rights.
Phoenix Capital Group envisions a future where prosperity is accessible to all—not just a select few. By empowering individual landowners and investors, the company aims to create generational wealth for its clients.
