Niobrara has established itself as a pioneering force in tech-focused private equity.
Niobrara is named after the Niobrara River in the state of Nebraska. In the Ponca language, Niobrara means running water. With a legacy in private equity established over nearly thirty years, we believe that investing in technology means investing in companies that are benefiting from the growth inherent in their own sub-verticals as well as from successive waves of technology mega trends or like a boat with a strong current at its back.
We specialize in partnering with middle-market companies to foster growth and innovation. Our journey began with the industry’s first tech buyout, and since then, we have continued to evolve, creating value through progressive approaches to investing. At Niobrara, we are committed to reshaping the future of business through strategic insights and investments, delivering attractive returns to our investment partners.
