River Capital

River Capital, founded in 1983, is an Atlanta-based private investment firm which provides capital for management buyouts, recapitalizations and the growth capital needs of well-established middle market companies. River Capital was initially formed as the private investment vehicle for its principals, who had successfully owned and operated businesses similar to those in which River Capital now invests. In 1985, the first River Capital partnership was created to enable other individual investors to participate in the continuing investment activity of the firm. Investment Criteria -Industry Focus We prefer to invest in companies involved in light manufacturing, distribution and selected service industries. We do not invest in companies involved in real estate, oil and gas or financial services. -Management We invest in people with a proven track record within their industry and a total commitment to their business. In each of our investments, management has held a substantial equity interest. -Structure In most cases, the size of our investment requires that we hold a majority interest in our portfolio companies. However, management receives significant ownership and maintains daily operating control. Alternatively, when we can affect corporate strategy and the method and timing for the disposition of our interests, we will consider alternate structures.
