BV Investment Partners Named to Inc.'s 2025 Founder-Friendly Investors List

BOSTON, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BV Investment Partners (BV), a middle-market private equity firm focused on the tech-enabled business services, software and IT services sectors, announced today its recognition on the Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list for the fourth year in a row. The list honors the private equity firms, venture capital firms, and lenders with a track record of backing founder-led companies. This year's list recognizes BV among 248 firms.

The prestigious list celebrates the investors that believe in backing founder-led businesses and helping them thrive. All companies on the list have successful track records of collaboration and remaining actively involved with the businesses they invest in.

Vik Raina, CEO of BV, said, "We're honored to be recognized again by Inc. This reflects the hard work of our team and the strong companies we've built with our investors' support. Many founders trust us as their first institutional partner, and we are committed to helping them grow and institutionalize their businesses. We thank Inc. for this recognition."

"Raising capital is no small feat for today's entrepreneurs. That's why discovering investors who offer more than just financial backing—those who bring mentorship, resources, and a true spirit of partnership to your growth journey—is both rare and invaluable," says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "The 2025 Founder-Friendly Investors are collaborators and dedicated to helping their portfolio companies succeed."

To compile the list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders filled out a questionnaire about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms and shared data on how their companies have grown during these partnerships.
