Our team is proud to announce that Inc. Magazine has recognized us with the Founder Friendly distinction for the third consecutive year. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to founder-led businesses and our dedication to helping them scale, thrive, and innovate.
At Edison, it’s not just about providing capital—it’s about building lasting partnerships that fuel long-term growth and success. We’ve backed more than 220 founders over the last 38 years, and our people-first investment and value-creation approach provides right-sized capital, and stage and sector-specific operating expertise, tailored to the needs of each founding team, business model, and strategy.
From the outset of the relationship and at every step along the company’s growth journey, we drive alignment through transparency – collective and respective goals, potential outcomes, and how to get there. It’s all about shared success and a ‘whatever it takes’ mindset that matches founders’ passion, intensity, and commitment.
Edison Edge, our value creation platform, brings a differentiated perspective to portfolio company growth. Our team combined with our pressure-tested ecosystem of subject matter experts helps founders, CEOs, and ELTs build high-performance teams, optimize go-to-market strategies, and drive operational efficiencies.
Our formula works as evidenced by top-quartile growth equity fund performance and a Net Promoter Score of 75, best in class for the financial services sector.
We have also had the pleasure of backing several founders more than once. Our inclusion on this prestigious list is a testament to the success of the founders we support and the relationships we’ve cultivated. It’s an honor to be recognized for our collaborative approach and dedication to helping businesses grow.
The Founder Friendly Investor list is featured in the November 2023 issue of Inc. Magazine, available online now at https://www.inc.com/founder-friendly-investors/.
