RLH Equity Partners, a private equity firm with over four decades of investing in high-growth, founder-owned, technology-enabled professional services firms, announced today it has been recognized on Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors list for the fourth consecutive year. The annual roundup highlights private equity and venture capital firms with the best track records of success in backing entrepreneurs.

To compile the list, Inc. went directly to entrepreneurs to ask about their experiences in partnering with investors and collect data on how their companies have grown and developed during the investment period.

“Our relationship with founders begins with the tremendous respect we have for what they’ve already accomplished,” said Mark Gartner, a Managing Director at RLH. “Our approach is intended to build upon what founders have already achieved and leverage our experience and resources to further develop growth infrastructure, crystalize strategy and go-to-market capabilities and accelerate the path to the next transaction.”

RLH has a dedicated team of seasoned investors and operators who work shoulder-to-shoulder with entrepreneurs to provide the collaboration and support they need to help drive high quality growth. Additionally, RLH offers dedicated, in-house resources to help companies identify and execute on M&A op

portunities. The firm’s distinct approach has fostered long-term relationships with dozens of founders, many of whom have gone on to become Strategic Advisors to RLH.
