Founders Trust buys companies up to $450 million. We are a unique buyer whose strategy is to not conglomerate, but rather to keep the employees and reward them with equity, to grow the company, and preserve its values and culture. We are a unique buyer, and the preferred buyer of founders, essentially a ‘white knight’ type of buyer. When we buy businesses, they stay independent, and function autonomously as independent organizations, with our support with anything they need. We keep the employees and leadership team of the businesses we buy; we keep the culture, and we maintain the legacy of the creator. We incentivize employees with part of the ownership as well. Our board members collectively have served on 25 boards for more than 74 years, have 80 years of C-level experience, and have participated in more than $4 billion acquisitions in total. Our team of industry veterans possesses robust knowledge and extensive hands-on experience in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, commercial real estate, legal, and accounting.

Listed skills include Private Equity, Alternative Investments, Valuation, Venture Capital, and 13 others.
