The "Founder-Friendly Investors" award is a program designed by Inc. Magazine to help founder-led companies accelerate growth and create revenue. Private equity and venture capital firms that have invested in U.S.-based, founder-led portfolio companies are eligible to apply. Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Investors seeks to recognize and distinguish investment firms based on their support of entrepreneurs and their businesses. In evaluating firms, Inc. consults with portfolio company founders directly to have them share their experiences partnering with private equity and venture capital firms and provide data on how their companies have grown during these partnerships. An application fee is required for all participants, including Turn/River, to be considered for the award. If selected, award recipients, including Turn/River, pay Inc. additional fees to reprint the Founder Friendly investor logo. Turn/River received this award in 2022, 2024, and 2025.
