| 50 private equity firms that will help your company grow |
| | Good morning,
Private equity has a pretty dismal reputation.
It stems mostly from a subset of buyout firms that invested in distressed companies, like Toys "R" Us, that then failed. In reality, most U.S. private equity firms are interested in helping businesses grow, not grinding them to dust. For the truth about PE, you should really ask founders who used it to help grow their companies while retaining an ownership stake.
So that's what we did.
Inc.'s second annual list of founder-friendly private equity firms shines a light on 50 shops that have successfully supported founder-led companies. To compile it, we went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity. It's a group that's been expanding for more than two decades--in the U.S., the number of PE-backed businesses has grown 30 percent since 2015, according to research firm PitchBook.
Check out the list to learn which investors have your backs, tips on how to find them, and other great advice from founders who have been there before.
