Inc. Business Media has since expanded the list to include venture capital firms! All applicants that Inc. Business Media determines to be founder-friendly will appear in the November 2024 issue of Inc. magazine and on Inc.com, and will receive Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Seal of Approval.
If your firm has references to support your spot on Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Investors list, we hope to receive your submission!
