TZP Group Named to Inc.’s List of Founder-Friendly Investors for the Third Consecutive Year

TZP Group, a multi-strategy private equity firm focused on the lower-middle market, announced today that it was named to Inc.'s 2022 "Founder-Friendly Investors" list, honoring private equity and venture capital firms with strong track records backing entrepreneurs. This marks the third consecutive year TZP has earned this recognition.

TZP invests primarily in closely-held, private companies where owners seek to retain a significant stake and partner with an investor offering complementary operating and financial expertise to accelerate growth, boost profitability, and maximize retained equity value. The honor reinforces TZP's commitment to serving as a "Partner of Choice" for owners and management teams.

Launched in 2019, Inc.'s "Founder-Friendly Investors" list has become a leading resource for entrepreneurs pursuing growth while maintaining ownership. The list is compiled directly from founder feedback: entrepreneurs who sold to private equity or venture capital firms completed surveys about their partnership experiences and provided data on portfolio company performance.

"Our mission at TZP has been to be a Partner of Choice for entrepreneurial owners and management teams," said Sam Katz, Managing Partner. "Receiving this recognition for the third consecutive year is particularly meaningful. We thank the founders and management teams of our portfolio companies for their partnership and look forward to growing together."
