Bow River Capital Partners is a private investment fund based in Denver that invests in promising U.S. and Canadian companies and alternatives. Bow River was founded in 2003 and raised its second fund in late 2006. Total assets under management are approximately $2.3 billion, the bulk of which are capital commitments from high net worth individuals. Bow River takes an opportunistic approach to its investment philosophy by deploying capital into a variety of different industries, including business and consumer services, distribution, private aviation (fixed base operations), financial services, energy, and real estate. Bow River targets lower-middle market companies located in the Western United States and Canada that have proven management, revenues of $20 to $200 million, positive free cash flow in excess of $500,000, and EBITDA of $5 to $20 million with a strong preference toward owner-operated businesses. The firm's typical investment size is $4 million to $7 million (although they have participated in much larger transactions by partnering with other investors) and their target investment horizon is three to seven years. Targeted industries include business and consumer services, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, financial services, energy and real estate. The firm will not consider investments in biotechnology and technology, or business startups.
