Clear River Investments

Clear River Investments

Clear River Investments was founded in 2013 by an entrepreneur who assembled an operating team to acquire and scale companies. The office manages capital originating from the Bernard Chaus women’s apparel enterprise and maintains no traditional fund structure. The firm invests permanent capital across direct co-investments, private equity, private credit, real estate, and fund-of-funds vehicles. It targets small to mid-cap cash-flow-positive businesses in established sectors and provides operational support to increase returns. Confirmed technology focuses include consumer tech and enterprise software. Activity remains concentrated in North America. No public data exists on team size or additional offices. The office has disclosed no recent operational events within the last 24 months. Clear River’s structure permits indefinite holding periods, allowing alignment with management on multi-year value creation without external fund pressure.
