What’s in the Name?

Bow River Capital is named after the Canadian Bow River. Our Founder, Blair Richardson, was born in Canada and was struck by the beauty of the river and its surroundings. In 2003, he chose the name “Bow River Capital” to represent the strong values of the Rocky Mountain West and the world-class investment firm he and his colleagues would build in the Rodeo Region.
