Bow River is a solid regional PE shop that punches above its weight in healthcare and B2B services. They're genuinely hands-on operators, not just check-writers, which is refreshing but means they want real control and input into strategy. Paul Reilly and team have built a reputation for being founder-friendly within the constraints of PE economics, but don't confuse this with VC-style minority investing. They're looking for businesses ready for institutional ownership and operational scaling. If you're a healthcare or B2B services company in the Mountain West looking for growth capital with operational expertise, they're worth talking to.
