Silversmith Capital Partners was named to Inc. Magazine’s list of Top Founder-Friendly Firms for the third consecutive year. To compile the list, Inc. reporters received feedback from founders and entrepreneurs about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms on how their companies have grown during these partnerships. The final list recognizes firms that remain actively involved with the businesses they invest in, and that have earned the trust of the entrepreneurs they support to help drive growth.

“Now more than ever, founder-led companies need financing partners that offer guidance, expertise, and understanding—not just capital. These are the private equity, venture capital, and debt firms that have founders’ backs when it comes to accelerating growth,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. Business Media.
