SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tower Arch Capital has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Founder-Friendly Investors list, which recognizes private equity firms, venture capital firms, and lenders with demonstrated track records of supporting founder-led companies.

The prestigious Founder-Friendly Investors list celebrates the investors and firms that work closely with entrepreneurs and remain engaged with the businesses they back. Honorees are recognized for their approach to partnering with founders and supporting their companies through growth and beyond.

Tower Arch Capital Partner and co-founder, Ryan Stratton, shared, “Being named to this list for the eighth consecutive year reflects the trust that founders and families have placed in us with the businesses they built. Partnering with family and founder-led companies has been our sole focus for more than a decade. We are grateful for these relationships and remain committed to helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses while preserving the values and culture that made them successful.”

To compile the Founder-Friendly Investors list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders completed questionnaires about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms and shared data on how their companies have performed during these partnerships. The resulting list highlights investors that founders identified as strong partners throughout the investment process.
