May River started in 2012 with a simple premise: leverage our friendship, complementary skills, and experience with a singular focus on an under-served but attractive market–differentiated industrial growth businesses.
To date, the firm has raised more than $650 million in committed capital. We are currently investing in new platforms through a $300 million institutional fund and seek to deploy $25 to $75 million of equity (or potentially more through co-investment) per platform company.
The most critical element to our success is the operating executives with whom we work. Over time, we’ve been fortunate to develop lasting relationships with many talented executives who possess a deep intellectual curiosity and a desire to improve all aspects of their business, while also sharing in our philosophy.
These operators hail from world-class organizations and institutions. Together, they form our Executive Resource Group and function as force multipliers for the core May River team. Among other things, we frequently work together evaluating industrial trends, specific businesses, leadership teams, and growth strategies.
