NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hildred Capital Management (“Hildred”), a healthcare-focused private equity firm that seeks opportunities to create value in middle-market companies, today announced that it has been named to Inc.'s 2024 Founder-Friendly Investors list. The list honors investment firms that remain actively involved with the businesses in which they invest and that have earned the trust of the entrepreneurs they support.
On behalf of Hildred, Co-Founders and Managing Partners Andrew Goldman and David Solomon stated: “Our role as a reliable, hands-on partner to our portfolio of businesses and their management teams is woven into our DNA. We take this responsibility seriously and we are committed to their long-term success. We are proud to be recognized by Inc. as a founder-friendly investor and remain focused on building great companies and achieving exceptional financial returns on behalf of our investors.”
To compile the list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders filled out a questionnaire about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms and shared data on how their portfolio companies have grown during these partnerships.
“It has been a complicated few years for growth companies and the companies that fund them,” said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “So, we are happy to share with our readers the best, latest guidance on which venture capital firms, private equity firms, and growth-capital lenders have the track record and reputation of being especially good partners to founders and CEOs.”
Introduced in 2019, the Founder-Friendly Investors list quickly established itself as one of Inc.’s most resourceful franchises. It has become a go-to guide for entrepreneurs who want to grow their companies while retaining an ownership stake.
