Brighton Park Named to Inc.’s 2026 List of Founder-Friendly Investors

We are proud to share that Brighton Park Capital has been named to Inc. Magazine’s list of Founder-Friendly Investors for the fifth year in a row.

The prestigious Founder-Friendly Investors list celebrates the investors and firms that work closely with entrepreneurs and remain engaged with the businesses they back. Honorees are recognized for their approach to partnering with founders and supporting their companies through growth and beyond.

“The 2026 Founder-Friendly Investor awards celebrate those firms — the ones committed to partnership, excellence, and helping founder-led companies grow,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

At Brighton Park, we take a partnership-first approach, working closely with founders to help them scale their businesses and achieve their long-term goals. Combining deep operational expertise with strategic insight, we deliver tailored support that drives innovation and growth. Guided by a shared commitment to lasting success, we’re proud to stand alongside exceptional founders as they build transformative companies that make a meaningful impact.

To compile the Founder-Friendly Investors list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders completed questionnaires about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms and shared data on how their companies have performed during these partnerships. The resulting list highlights investors that founders identified as strong partners throughout the investment process.
