TZP Group Named to Inc.’s 2023 List of Founder-Friendly Investors

New York, NY, October 31, 2023 -- Inc. announced its fifth annual Founder-Friendly Investors list, recognizing 218 private equity, venture capital, and debt firms with strong track records supporting entrepreneurs.

The list honors firms that remain actively engaged with their portfolio companies and have earned founder trust for driving growth. According to Inc.'s editor-in-chief, these are the private equity, venture capital, and debt firms that have founders' backs when accelerating expansion.

TZP Group earned recognition for the fourth consecutive year. Sam Katz, Managing Partner, stated the firm is "proud to be named to this list" and noted it reflects their commitment to being a "'Partner of Choice' for founders and management teams."

Inc. compiled the list by surveying entrepreneurs who had sold to investment firms. Founders completed questionnaires about their experiences and shared data on portfolio company growth during partnerships.

The Founder-Friendly Investors list, introduced in 2019, serves as a resource guide for business owners seeking growth while retaining ownership stakes. The November 2023 issue of Inc. magazine features the complete rankings.
