Overview
Turn/River Capital is a technology-focused private equity fund that makes growth equity investments, buyouts, recapitalizations, and spin-outs in small-scale technology and web companies. It works by providing capital plus hands-on operating support, with active involvement from partner and former CEO Dominic Ang to help management optimize go-to-market strategies, accelerate growth, and improve profitability through lean operations and web-enabled distribution. The firm positions itself as the bridge between venture capital and traditional private equity, targeting companies that are too capital-efficient for VCs, too small for PE, and too messy for strategics. The goal is to help these lean, web-focused companies scale profitably and reach meaningful exits or sustained growth.
