M-One Capital Named to Inc.’s 2026 Founder-Friendly Investors List
Omaha, NE – October 27, 2026 – M-One Capital has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Founder-Friendly Investors list, which recognizes private equity firms, venture capital firms and lenders with demonstrated track records of supporting founder-led companies. This year’s list recognizes M-One Capital among 294 firms across the investment landscape.
The Founder-Friendly Investors list celebrates investors and firms that work closely with entrepreneurs and remain engaged with the businesses they back. Honorees are recognized for their approach to partnering with founders and supporting their companies through growth and beyond.
“We are honored to be named to Inc.’s 2026 Founder-Friendly Investors list. Our model is built on backing founders and management teams who want to keep running their businesses, and we provide the capital, guidance and support to help them grow. This recognition reflects our years of experience earning the trust of the entrepreneurs we partner with,” said Patrick Duffy, President and Managing Partner at M-One Capital.
To compile the Founder-Friendly Investors list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders completed questionnaires about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital and debt firms and shared data on how their companies have performed during these partnerships. The resulting list highlights investors that founders identified as strong partners throughout the investment process.
