Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at RockWood Equity Partners?

Managing Partners Stephen G. Hrivnak and Brian P. Madden have led RockWood since its 1999 founding. The firm operates with a partner-led investment committee structure, and the two have been the consistent decision-makers across multiple fund cycles. No additional named investment partners appear in the public record.

How does RockWood source its deals, given the lower-middle-market industrial focus?

RockWood sources through long-standing relationships with business brokers, regional investment banks, and operating executives in the industrial Midwest. Because it targets founder-owned businesses with succession needs — often unmarketed processes — the firm relies on a proprietary network built over more than two decades rather than broad auction processes.
