Founders Equity

Founders Equity is a private equity investment firm based in New York that focuses on buyouts, recapitalizations, and later-stage growth equity investments in small to mid-sized businesses. The firm has been active since 1969 and manages capital through vehicles including Founders Equity SBIC I, L.P. and Founders Equity NY L.P. Its investment strategy spans multiple industries, including business services, outsourcing, distribution, and selected healthcare services, but it is not itself a biotech, pharma, or healthcare operating company. In healthcare, it has invested in service-oriented businesses such as Oncology Services International and Advantedge Healthcare Solutions rather than developing therapeutics or medical products. Overall, Founders Equity should be characterized as a lower middle-market private equity sponsor with some exposure to healthcare services.
