WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- United Western Group, a Washington, D.C. based private equity firm, is pleased to announce that it has been named to Inc. Magazine's 2024 list of Founder-Friendly Investors.

The list recognizes the top 269 Private Equity and Venture Capital firms that support founder-led businesses to not only provide capital, but to work closely with founders and management teams to help them accelerate growth. All firms on the list have successful track records of collaboration and remaining actively involved with the businesses they invest in.

Jacob Atkinson, Managing Partner at United Western, commented, "We are honored to be recognized by Inc. for our dedication of fostering strong, trust-based relationships with the founders of companies we invest in. We take pride in our unwavering commitment to partnering with entrepreneurs, supporting their growth journeys not only through capital but also by offering strategic resources that drive success."

"It has been a complicated few years for growth companies and the companies that fund them," said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "So, we are happy to share with our readers the best, latest guidance on which venture capital firms, private equity firms, and growth-capital lenders have the track record and reputation of being especially good partners to founders and CEOs."

To compile the 2024 Founder-Friendly Investors list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders completed 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.
