Testimonials

“Spectacular two days. The honest dialog between founders of companies and private capital is powerful.”

Thomas Reardon

Managing Director, Providence Equity

“The hand-picked people that are here are all just absolutely brilliant. It’s really fun and inspiring to be around these people."

Tony Summerville

Founder & CEO, Fleetio

“Prior to coming to these events, I had never had any interaction with private equity, so being able to actually meet the people and spend more than an hour in a meeting with them, and getting to know them on a personal level is helpful to see that they’re real people and they’re great for business.”

Ross Croley

Founder, Ministry Brands

“This event is just a fantastic opportunity to sit down in an intimate setting and be with a number of really impressive entrepreneurs and founders. The quality of the people that Founders is able to bring together is so energizing.”

Stewart Lynn

Principal, Serent Capital

“For the entrepreneurs, listening to the private equity firms discuss how they evaluate a company and help them move forward to get to the next level is extremely helpful.”
