Monomoy Recognized on the 2025 Inc. Founder-Friendly List for Third Consecutive Year

We are pleased to share that Monomoy has been named to the 2025 Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list, marking our third consecutive year receiving this recognition.

“Being named to the Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors for a third consecutive year is a testament to our partners and the exceptional management teams we work alongside,” shared Monomoy Senior Operating Executive and Head of the Operating Team, Ethan Klemperer. “Monomoy’s foundational belief is that true partnership is about working alongside founders and operators, bringing operational experience and growth strategies that create lasting value. This recognition reflects the collective success of those partnerships.”

The Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list highlights private equity, venture capital firms and lenders that have an established record of supporting the founders with whom they work. It also serves as a helpful guide for entrepreneurs looking for experienced, like-minded partners to grow with.

Congratulations to this year’s honorees, and thank you to Inc. Magazine for recognizing Monomoy’s ongoing commitment to founder partnerships and value creation.
