GenNx360’s inclusion on the Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list underscores our commitment to partnership—working alongside founder-led businesses to help them grow, scale and thrive. This recognition highlights the collaborative approach and active role GenNx360 takes in driving long-term success. Throughout its nearly 20-year history, GenNx360 has completed 118 transactions, deploying over $2.4 billion in capital to help middle-market businesses scale.

“GenNx360 was built on the belief that real value creation happens in partnership with visionary founders and management teams,” said Ron Blaylock, Founder and Managing Partner of GenNx360. “We are honored to be included on this year’s Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors list, which showcases our enduring commitment to helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses while preserving the unique cultures they’ve built.”

Since its founding in 2006, GenNx360 has partnered with founders and family-owned businesses across the U.S. middle market, focusing on the industrial and business services sectors. The firm has a proven history of investing in founder-led companies and working side-by-side with leadership teams to accelerate growth through operational excellence, strategic add-on acquisitions and expanded market reach.

Recent highlights include the successful exits of four founder- and family-led businesses in 2024, spotlighting GenNx360’s ability to deliver meaningful outcomes for both entrepreneurs and investors. In addition, the firm continues to build upon its portfolio of high-quality founder-led companies, such as Whitsons Culinary Group, a foodservice business founded and led by the Whitcomb family, which together with its nine add-ons has expanded under GenNx360’s ownership; Shenandoah, a provider of stormwater and sanitary infrastructure pipe inspection, cleaning and repair services; and most recently, Heartland Business Systems, a leading IT services provider.

To compile the list, Inc. surveyed entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders completed detailed questionnaires about their experiences partnering with investors and provided data on how their companies have grown through those collaborations.
