Kingswood was officially named to Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors List.
The Founder-Friendly Investors List is an annual recognition of the private equity and other investment firms with a proven track record of successfully partnering with founders and founder-led companies to drive growth.
In 2025, there were 248 firms recognized, and Kingswood was one of them.
Founder-led companies are central to our investment strategy. We recognize both the strengths founders bring—vision, commitment, and deep knowledge of their businesses—along with the operational and organizational challenges that often accompany growth.
At Kingswood, we embrace complexity. We work with founders to address challenges across talent, operations, budgeting, reporting, and execution, drawing on our network, resources, and operational expertise to help businesses scale thoughtfully and sustainably.
This collaborative approach resonates with our founder partners. Our partners trust us because they know we’re in it together. We’re proud to stand alongside our founders, and we’re honored to have earned industry recognition for the partnerships that define who we are.
