Bow River Capital Partners

About The Fund

Bow River Capital is a private alternative asset management firm based in Denver, Colorado, established in 2003 with the aim of creating a diversified investment platform focusing on the lower middle market across three asset classes: private equity, real estate, and energy. They prioritize partnerships and synergies with portfolio investment partners to build enduring businesses and properties, and they rely on a hands-on operational approach to generate value. They possess an intimate knowledge of the industries in which they invest, applying a clear and consistent process to each investment. Bow River Capital is employee-owned and has developed six private fund platforms, which include Private Credit, Private Equity, Defense, Real Estate, and Software Growth Equity, as well as the Bow River Evergreen Strategies. They manage assets worth $3.6 billion. They emphasize their geographic investment focus on the Rocky Mountain West and Southwest, referred to as the Rodeo Region, where they believe business owners share similar values which result in successful collaborations and a collective vision for success. The firm ensures internal operations are of institutional quality as they maintain dedicated finance, compliance, and operational teams, offering both innovation and partnership coupled with extensive operational support. They also align their interests with management teams and investors by having significant investments in their own funds. For founders, owners, and management teams seeking growth or understanding in private equity partnerships, Bow River Capital presents itself as a like-minded collaborator, equipped with capital and industry experience. The firm's name is inspired by Canada's Bow River, reflecting the strong values of the Rocky Mountain West, which are integral to their vision and strategy for building a leading investment firm in the Rodeo Region.
