Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Investors application will ask you to provide references from founder-led companies that your firm has supported. Inc. will reach out to the founder(s) of one or more of the portfolio companies you've provided in your application and ask a series of questions about their experience partnering with your firm.
All firms that Inc. determines to be founder-friendly through this process will appear in the October issue of Inc. Magazine, on Inc.com, and will receive an Inc. Seal of Approval.
This program is now closed. Applications for next year will be available in early Summer 2023.
