What makes Founders different?
Relationship-Driven
While many firms focus solely on the transaction, we are primarily driven by forming relationships with those we serve—authentic connections that begin with us listening to your needs, and then working tirelessly to meet, and exceed, your expectations.
Results-Oriented
Unfortunately, the business we’re in is riddled with those who promise much but deliver little. At Founders, we remain focused on our clients’ needs—diligently pursuing them until the deal is done, the goals are met and the results are achieved.
Founder-Focused
While it isn’t always the case, our firm is primarily focused on working with company founders. We understand that to them, this is more than just a business decision, it’s an emotional one. That the people working there are more than just employees, they’re partners, colleagues and friends. And that founders want to do more than just sell a business, they want to ensure a lasting legacy.
