2About Riverwood Capital
Riverwood Capital is a private equity firm comprised of a unique group of investment professionals targeting middle market technology firms in need of financial and intellectual capital to achieve superior growth and profitability on a global scale. We believe mid-size technology companies represent the best investment opportunities to achieve outsized returns, particularly in today's challenged financial environment. The most attractive of these opportunities tend to have a disruptive product satisfying a large market need but usually not the skill sets needed to successfully grow and operate a global business.
