Riverarch Equity Partners

The firm recently elevated Dan Lebby to Director as of March 2026 (per firm website). Beyond Lebby, Riverarch does not publicly list a named investment committee or additional senior partners, which is compatible with a lean decision-making structure centered on a small group of senior operating and investment professionals.

Available evidence points exclusively to direct control-oriented buyouts and add-on acquisitions. The firm makes no mention of fund commitments, LP stakes, or co-investments alongside other GPs, aligning its resources entirely with platform and add-on transactions.

Riverarch executes buyout, growth, recapitalization, and management-buyout transactions. Its EBITDA target range of $5-to-$30 million and equity check size of $25-to-$150 million place it firmly in the lower-to-core middle market, acquiring established industrial and business-services platforms rather than early-stage or venture-backed companies.

While the firm does not publish an explicit exclusion list, its portfolio and criteria display no exposure to software, healthcare, consumer retail, or financial services. Its focus remains on industrial manufacturing, automotive aftermarket supply chains, geospatial services, and business-to-business consumables, implying an intentional avoidance of technology and service models reliant on recurring subscription revenue.

Riverarch has not documented any co-investment partnerships with other private equity firms. Executed add-on acquisitions are integrated under its platforms, and disclosed exits, such as the sale of FORTA to The Heritage Group in February 2026 (per the firm), are to strategic buyers rather than financial sponsors.
