Eagle Merchant Partners is proud to announce that it has been named to Inc. Magazine's prestigious list of Founder-Friendly Investors for the fourth consecutive year. This recognition reflects the firm's unwavering commitment to supporting and nurturing founder-led businesses, as the annual list highlights investment firms dedicated to providing more than just capital to entrepreneurs.
To compile the list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders filled out a questionnaire about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital and debt firms and shared data on how their portfolio companies have grown during these partnerships.
"We pride ourselves on applying our operating playbook to build strong management teams, invest in portfolio company infrastructure, and drive growth through strategic initiatives," said Partner Bill Lundstrom. “We have been investing in the Southeast for over two decades, and our deep regional networks allow us to provide support to business founders."
