In 2020, the Inc. Private Equity 50 list was restricted to the top 50 founder-friendly private equity firms.
This year, Inc. Business Media is excited to announce that we’re expanding the list to include venture capital firms! All applicants that Inc. Business Media determines to be founder-friendly will appear in the November 2023 issue of Inc. Magazine, on Inc.com, and 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!
Early-Rate Deadline: June 9, 2023 (Fee: $995)
Regular Rate Deadline, June 23rd, 2023 (Fee: $1495)
The deadline to complete founder references is June 30th, 2023 at 11:59 pm PST.
The 2023 Inc. Founder-Friendly Investor awards are now closed.
Applications for 2024 will open in April, and you can request a notification to apply for the 2024 awards here.
