GormanThayer LLC Evolves into Hidden River Capital LLC

06/29/09

  GormanThayer changes its name to Hidden River Capital and introduces Saralinda Sabloff as the firm’s newest partner. Mark Gorman, Founder, explains that the name change is reflective of the firm’s growth and evolution: “our name change captures our expanded presence and the addition of experienced Investment Banking professionals”. He further comments that the new name is derived from one of the firm’s primary guiding principals: “we seek to work with each of our clients to find and unlock hidden sources of value”.
  The Hidden River team believes that maximizing value is about understanding the unique goals of each of its clients and delivering the right alternatives and solutions.  In turn, they transform those solutions into actions, seeking to dramatically improve results.
  The name also has historical significance. Legend has it that the Schuylkill River means hidden river, named by the Dutch explorers who had failed to discover the river on their first pass, as it was concealed by dense vegetation. Hidden River Capital also unveils a new logo – a fly fisherman wading in a river. The logo reflects the firm’s view that like fly fishing, there is a high level of skill and expertise in pairing companies and general partners with investors that are not only compatible but additive.

      Specifically, we asked these two questions....
