About Us

River Black Capital is a Midwest based private equity firm acquiring companies with less than $30 million in revenue and $3 million in EBITDA. We seek businesses with rich histories and loyal employees where our expertise can add value and accelerate growth through geographic expansion and add-on acquisition. As experienced investors and past M&A advisors, we intimately understand the unique needs of small businesses and the importance of maintaining a company’s culture in the pursuit of growth. At River Black we deeply believe that a rising tide should lift all boats: when we succeed, all of the stakeholders involved should succeed.

River Black prefers partnering with existing ownership or management teams, but we are also equipped for full buy-outs in our defined core areas. As a family operated investment group, River Black’s portfolio investments benefit from flexible capital structures and patient time horizons.

If you are a business owner, intermediary, investor, executive, student, or anyone else who enjoys hard work, having fun, and giving back to your community– let’s get in touch and break bread.
