BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rotunda Capital Partners (Rotunda), a lower-middle market private equity firm focused on distribution, logistics, and industrial and business services, was recently named by Inc. Magazine as one of the top 50 founder-friendly PE firms in the United States. The list recognizes private equity firms that treat entrepreneurs as partners and have a successful track record of helping their businesses thrive. To compile the Top 50 list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity. Founders gave input on their experiences working with private equity firms and shared information on how their companies have performed during these partnerships. Rotunda helps founder and family-owned businesses with functional expertise, industry experience, and strategic capital to drive transformational growth: Through multiple strategy sessions, Rotunda helped refine Munchs value proposition, which, in turn, gave us the confidence that we could replicate our unique service offering while expanding outside our traditional geographic area. As a result, we expanded from one metropolitan area to over seven states in just four years, while still preserving our family culture, said Bob Munch of Munchs Supply. Rotunda is committed to long-term value creation by investing in the infrastructure of each portfolio company: We chose Rotunda because of their commitment to long-term growth, not simply short-term results, said Gary Embretson, who founded Trinity3 Technology. Rotunda pushed us to invest in ourselves by adding to the management team, implementing technology improvements and adding service enhancements, while staying true to the MacQueen Way. These infrastructure investments allowed us to expand rapidly in the first year of our growth journey through both acquisitions and organic growth, said Dan Gage, CEO of MacQueen Equipment. We are honored to be recognized by Inc. as one of the most founder-friendly private equity firms, and thank all of our portfolio company partners we have worked with over the years, as well as the Rotunda team who promote a culture of partnership, integrity, transparency and excellence, said John Fruehwirth, managing partner at Rotunda Capital Partners.
