Lightview Capital has been named an honoree of Inc.'s sixth annual Founder-Friendly Investors list, honoring the private equity, venture capital, and debt firms with the best track records of success backing entrepreneurs.
Focused on founder led, bootstrapped businesses since inception, Lightview invests in founders and leadership teams across the North American business services ecosystem. This marks the 2nd consecutive year Lightview has received this recognition from Inc.. The honor reaffirms our role as a trusted teammate, providing not just financial backing but also strategic insights and operational support to help founder-led companies compete and win in today's fast-paced marketplace.
Stan Bikulege, a Principal at Lightview stated, "Being recognized as a Founder-Friendly Investor by Inc. reflects our commitment to working shoulder-to-shoulder with visionary founders. At Lightview, we believe success is a team effort—helping entrepreneurs preserve the culture and values that built their business while staying focused on the next big play."
Drew Coash, a Director at Lightview Capital added, "This recognition underscores our dedication to building lasting partnerships with founders and management teams. At Lightview, we take pride in our collaborative approach as we work closely with entrepreneurs to accelerate growth and create long-term value."
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.
Introduced in 2019, the Founder-Friendly Investors list quickly established itself as one of Inc.'s most resourceful franchises. It has become a go-to guide for entrepreneurs who want to grow their companies while retaining an ownership stake.
