The Bow River Difference
Rodeo Region Focused
Our primary geographic investment focus is the Rocky Mountain West and Southwest, 14 states that we refer to as the Rodeo RegionTM. We've found that business owners and management teams in the Rodeo RegionTM have values that are similar to ours, resulting in strong partnerships and a shared vision of success. We believe the Rodeo RegionTM is more than a geographic footprint, it's a way of doing business.
Operators Not Allocators
We get close to the businesses and properties we own and leverage our industry expertise to create value. We work collaboratively with our management teams and investment partners with the shared goal of building enduring businesses and properties. We bring a clear, consistent and repeatable process to maximizing each investment opportunity.
Results Driven
We are singularly focused on delivering strong results to our investors. Our deep operational expertise and the cross-team collaboration that comes from our multi-strategy platform benefit our investors and support our goal of delivering strong performance.
“The Rodeo RegionTM continues to punch far above its geographic weight in economic growth and offers the potential to produce exceptional returns in our investment strategies. Beyond its ecomonic growth, we believe the Rodeo RegionTM represents an ethos; it's a way of doing business in the Rocky Mountain West and Southwest and it's that style of engagement that resonates with our Rodeo RegionTM partners who are business owners and investors."

What’s in the Name?
Bow River Capital is named after the Canadian Bow River. Our Founder, Blair Richardson, was born in Canada and was struck by the beauty of the river and its surroundings. In 2003, he chose the name “Bow River Capital” to represent the strong values of the Rocky Mountain West and the world-class investment firm he and his colleagues would build in the Rodeo Region.
