TT Capital Partners Earns Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investor Honor for Fourth Consecutive Year

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TT Capital Partners (TTCP) today announced that it has been named to Inc.’s 2025 Founder-Friendly Investors list. This marks the fourth consecutive year TTCP has been recognized as a private equity firm with a track record of supporting entrepreneurs and founder-led businesses.

Among the 248 firms nationwide making the list, TTCP stands out as one of only 27 healthcare-focused companies and the only Minnesota-based company to be included. The firm's industry expertise, collaborative style, and disciplined value-creation program help its portfolio companies scale and drive meaningful impact across the U.S. healthcare system.

“This recognition affirms what we hear consistently. We are more than a source of capital; we are a preferred partner for innovative companies poised to disrupt the way healthcare is delivered and managed,” said Dawn Owens, TTCP CEO and Partner.

That sentiment is echoed by many of TTCP’s portfolio company leaders, including Alan Tillinghast, Cantata Health Solutions CEO. Cantata offers a modern EHR platform in the behavioral health and human services markets, where providers serve some of the most at-risk populations, but often rely on aging technology. Since TTCP’s investment in late 2023, TTCP worked closely with Cantata to scale operations and accelerate growth.

“Over the past two years, TTCP has proven to be a strong partner, bringing healthcare expertise, a disciplined value-creation program, and a repeatable M&A playbook,” said Tillinghast.

Launched in 2019, Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors list has established itself as one of the publication’s most resourceful franchises. It serves as a go-to guide for entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses while retaining an ownership stake.
