Strattam Capital Named to Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors of 2026 List

The annual list recognizes private equity, venture capital, and lending firms with strong track records of supporting founder-led businesses

Austin, TX and San Francisco, CA, October 27, 2026 - Strattam Capital has been named to Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Investors list, which recognizes private equity firms, venture capital firms, and lenders with demonstrated track records of supporting founder-led companies. This year's list recognizes Strattam among 294 firms across the investment landscape.

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.

"With the current funding environment and rapid changes facing growing companies, founders are looking for more than just capital from their investors. They want true partners who believe in their business, but who are also able to provide the critical advisement and strategic support they need to reach their potential," says Bonny Ghosh, Editorial Director at Inc. "The 2026 Founder-Friendly Investor awards celebrate those firms - the ones committed to partnership, excellence, and helping founder-led companies grow."

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.
