Annual list highlights the private equity and venture capital firms with the best track records of success backing entrepreneurs

This week, Inc. announced its fourth annual Founder-Friendly Investors list, honoring the private equity and venture capital firms with the best track records of success backing entrepreneurs.

The list recognizes firms that entrepreneurs collaborate with and trust as they receive the financial support they need to help drive growth. All of the firms have successful track records of remaining actively involved with the businesses they invest in.

“Fully investing in an entrepreneur, and their innovative vision, involves far more than the financial investment. By developing relationships with and supporting entrepreneurs for the long-term, these private equity firms are more than investors, they’re partners,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. media.

”We are thrilled to be honored by Inc. for doing what we’ve been doing for nearly 15 years – building trusted relationships with business owners and helping them achieve the growth goals they have for their business,” said Melissa Sprinkle, a Managing Director of Owner Resource Group.

To compile the list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders filled out a questionnaire about their experiences partnering with private equity and venture capital firms and shared data on how their portfolio companies have grown during these partnerships.

Introduced in 2019, the Founder-Friendly Private Equity Firms list quickly became a go-to guide for entrepreneurs who want to grow their companies while retaining an ownership stake.
