Which firms in the lower middle market have the most respect among their competitors and carry the best brand name. I was thinking of something like The Riverside Company, but am curious to learn about more.

Define LMM and what you are seeking (anyone that plays in the LMM, groups that are focused on the LMM, etc.) and I can give you some additional thoughts.
Riverside, Audax, etc. will look at $5mm EBITDA deals (LMM) and $40-50mm EBITDA deals (MM deals).
Appreciate the response. Firms under 2B last fund raised, typically looking at 25M ebitda companies. Also not interested in funds that only invest in HC or tech.

Providence Strategic Growth
I appreciate the response but meant moreso firms that are dedicated to the lmm not necessarily a single fund raised by an umm firm
PSG runs independently of Providence Equity.
Cove Hill (consumer / tech), LLR (diversified), Calera (industrials / business services), Parthenon (business services, healthcare services, financial services)
Out of SB’s right now but thank you!
Can you say more about Cove Hill, LLR, Calera, and Parthenon? What makes them respected specifically?
curious about cove hill as well. pedigree-wise, looks like its much stronger than parthenon. what abt the actual experience?
Guys at Calera are really thoughtful, I think very highly of them

I would say Hellman & Friedman, CD&R, Vista, and GTCR are good up and coming MM funds.
Not sure if this is a joke but would not put these down as “LMM” or “up and coming” by any means.
its obviously a joke lol
KKR, Carlyle, Blackstone
You beat me to it
