About us
RiverNorth is a "Teal" IT Services company that delivers impact-driven government consulting for purpose-driven government agencies. We support mission-oriented, driven government agencies and programs that enable Americans, businesses, and communities to thrive through access to government aid and funding. Specifically, our people bring expertise and experience across Lending and Grant Program Design, Digital Modernization, and Enterprise & Innovation Strategy.
We started this company to provide a place for those who have never felt "whole" at a larger, traditional company. Wholeness is more than a buzzword for RiverNorth, it is a priority. We hire people whose passions are not easily contained to weekends. We are a company of hobbyists, enthusiasts, and nerds who believe that our individual identities should be celebrated and not hidden. Our culture thrives on the diversity and authenticity inherent in wholeness, meaning we will never ask you to compromise who you are to work at RiverNorth.
