PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

RiverRock Real Estate
Based on decades of experience managing and leasing national portfolios across the country, we know there is a void in what is being provided to owners. Typically, to achieve cost expectations, property service firms end up cutting back on the very thing they were hired to do – provide quality property services to the owner and the asset. Determined to find a better solution for our clients, RiverRock looked outside the real estate industry at successful customer-service based industries for new ideas in service, technology, training and pricing.
