RF Investment Partners

Co-founders Peter Rothschild and Peter Fidler serve as managing partners and lead the investment team. The firm lists two additional managing directors, Collin Abert and Patrick Riggio, along with a director-level team that includes James Bishop, Jacob Gordon, and Tyler Katz. No external investment committee is publicly disclosed, suggesting decisions are made internally by the partnership.

RF does not operate a single blind-pool fund. The firm deploys capital through a platform of customized funds tailored to each investment. This deal-by-deal architecture lets RF structure each transaction with a capital stack specific to that company's needs, mixing debt and equity as required, and gives the firm flexibility that generalist funds with rigid fund terms often lack.

The firm targets investments from $10 million to over $40 million in companies with at least $5 million in ARR or $2 million in EBITDA. RF provides both debt and equity capital, structuring each deal to fit the company's balance sheet. The firm states it engages in buyouts, growth equity, recapitalizations, and management buyouts.

RF concentrates on three sectors: enterprise software, healthcare services, and business services. The firm publicly lists no other industry verticals, and its portfolio page — showing over 40 companies such as Boardable, Comply365, and Ordergroove — reinforces that these three areas represent the entire mandate. No stated exclusions are published.

RF does not publicly detail its origination funnel. The firm's value proposition leans heavily on being 'founder-friendly' and led by operators, which suggests a relationship-based sourcing model common among lower-middle-market firms seeking proprietary, off-auction opportunities. The presence of a dedicated strategic advisory group of industry executives also serves as a potential source of deal flow and diligence support.

The firm's deal-by-deal fund structure implies that outside limited partners can participate on a transaction-specific basis, but RF has not publicly disclosed the names of external co-investors.

In June 2025, RF announced an investment in fire and life safety services platform NSG-Norel. It also disclosed an expansion investment in a Precision Garage Door Service franchisee. Both transactions reflect the firm's ongoing focus on business-services roll-ups and asset-light platform building.
