About
Us
North River Capital LLC is
an equity Capital firm
headquartered in Fort Wayne,
Indiana. It was
founded in the summer of
2008 by members of the
Rifkin family and other
former executives of
OmniSource Corporation
following the sale of
OmniSource to Steel
Dynamics, Inc., in
2007.
Unlike many private equity
firms, North River Capital
partners invest only their
own capital and place no
arbitrary limits on the
duration of the
investment. This
allows the firm to react
quickly, be more flexible in
structuring transactions,
and manage its portfolio
companies for long-term
results.
The firm’s partners are
active in the oversight of
portfolio companies, work
closely with company
executives to establish
strategic direction, and
provide high-level support
and guidance.
Portfolio company executives
are expected and empowered
to manage their respective
companies. |

Investment Focus &
Guidelines
• We
seek to acquire majority equity interests in
companies that present opportunities for
long-term growth and value creation.
• We
partner with capable executive management
teams whose values and business philosophies
are consistent with ours. We establish
a structure that provides significant
incentive for management to generate
outstanding performance.
• We
expect to utilize our partners’ collective
knowledge and experience to help enhance
portfolio companies’ performance, and
facilitate strategic growth.
• We
prefer to acquire businesses that support a
strategy that organizes related companies
into functional groups, thus creating the
opportunity to capitalize on potential
synergies.
• We
allocate funds for venture capital on a
limited basis, with a bias towards operating
businesses that demonstrate the potential
for cash flow expansion.
•
Nonetheless, we are willing to screen
a broad range of investment opportunities,
regardless of sector, industry, or
geography.
• We
are willing to consider co-investments and
joint-venture structures, depending on the
unique characteristics related to the
particular transaction.
A cornerstone of the NRC philosophy is the
alignment of interests to achieve
outstanding performance and results.
Portfolio company executives participate in
direct equity positions or equity-like
incentives, and NRC promotes benefit and
incentive plans intended to create long-term
security for all employees. |
