River Associates invests alongside management in all of its companies. We often partner with existing management, but will also seek to coinvest with executives who assume a leadership role with a prospective platform company.

In the later case, River Associates seeks to partner with seasoned operating executives who have demonstrated the ability to successfully manage a small, medium or large company or a substantial division or subsidiary of a large company. In a partnership with River Associates, the operating executive can expect the following: the benefits of equity ownership, operating control over daily activities as well as a seat on the company's board of directors, and access to other benefits of partnering with River Associates such as numerous lending and investment banking relationships as well as operating and financial experience in a wide variety of industries.

If you are an executive or an executive management team seeking to purchase a stand-alone company or a subsidiary division of a larger company, please contact Mark Jones to discuss a possible partnership.
