PALO ALTO, CA – October 29, 2024 – Today, Altamont Capital Partners (Altamont) was announced as a 2024 Founder-Friendly Investor by Inc., an American business publication that provides tools, articles, and inspiration for business growth.

Inc.’s 2024 Founder-Friendly Awards recognize top capital providers with a proven record of supporting founders, providing backing that extends beyond capital.

“Altamont is proud to be recognized as a Founder-Friendly Investor,” said Kristin Johnson, Managing Director, Business Development at Altamont. “We are grateful for the recognition, as we continue to reflect our core tenets of culture success, collaboration, and openness across our partnerships.”

The Founder-Friendly honorees are selected by Inc. based on testimonials provided by portfolio company founders. Inc. then gathers data on how those portfolio companies grew while partnered with the investing firm, and is given a proprietary score that determines which firms significantly support the founders behind the portfolio companies.

The Founder-Friendly awards are distinct in that they focus on investor behavior, rather than just performance. Founder referrals and sentiments weigh heavily on the decision process.
