Investment Approach

Sourcing

Rock River Capital is a midwest based, early stage venture firm looking for companies with initial product/market fit and positioned for growth. We are industry agnostic, but look for some form of technical disruptor to that industry, often in the form of software. 

Partnering

Investments made by Rock River Capital are done with the entrepreneur in mind.  Our goal is the keep the deal terms straight forward and aligned with the founder. We prefer to be the lead investor and take a board seat with the intension of adding value where needed.

Supporting

Rock River Capital reserves significant funds for follow on investment to continue supporting our portfolio in later rounds. We partner with some of the largest Venture Capitalists in the midwest to help our companies graduate to the next level of investment.
