Bow River Capital's private equity strategy, described at bowrivercapital.com, focuses on buyout and growth equity investments in software, technology-enabled services, and business services companies with revenue typically between $5 million and $50 million, targeting businesses that have demonstrated the durability and scalability of their models and are seeking a capital and strategic partner to support the next phase of growth. The firm's deep sector focus in technology and software-enabled services provides it with a specialized analytical perspective and network of industry relationships that enable more informed investment decisions and more effective portfolio company support than generalist private equity approaches in these sectors.

Bow River Capital's Colorado headquarters and focus on the Western United States technology ecosystem complement its national investment activities, providing the firm with distinctive access to technology investment opportunities across one of the fastest-growing technology communities in the country.
