Recognition underscores Nonantum’s consistent success partnering with entrepreneurs and reinforces its position as a trusted, growth-focused investment firm

Nonantum Capital Partners (“Nonantum”) announced today that the firm has been named to Inc.’s 2025 Founder-Friendly Investors List for the third consecutive year. The list recognizes private equity, venture capital, and lending firms with track records of helping founder-led businesses grow and thrive. Nonantum continues to distinguish itself in this area through a collaborative, entrepreneur-centered approach to investing.

To compile the list, Inc. conducted a rigorous evaluation informed by founder perspectives. Entrepreneurs who sold to or partnered with private equity, venture capital, and lending firms completed surveys detailing their partnership experiences and provided data showing company growth during their investment periods.

“We aim to be the partner-of-choice for entrepreneurs who value a truly collaborative approach, one that combines active engagement with a deep respect for leadership independence,” said Jon Biotti, Managing Partner of Nonantum. “Integrity, humility, and teamwork are at the heart of how we invest. Being recognized once again on the Inc. Founder-Friendly list reinforces our belief that strong relationships create lasting value for our investors, our portfolio companies, and the communities we serve.”

Founded in 2018 as a spin-out from Charlesbank Capital Partners, Nonantum is a private equity firm led by a group of private equity and management executives with deep investment and operating experience. The firm focuses on family- and founder-led businesses, corporate carve-outs, and other transitional opportunities, working closely with entrepreneurs to power growth and stability. By combining institutional rigor with a collaborative, values-driven approach, Nonantum has earned a reputation as a trusted partner to management teams navigating transformation and expansion.

“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.”
