The award is a tribute to our longstanding commitment to partnering with founders to meet their goals for themselves and their businesses, and to help them accelerate the growth of their companies. For over 35 years, we have been investing in founder-owned healthcare and technology businesses. The founders we team with retain significant equity, play a meaningful role going forward, and care deeply about their employees. We are proud to build close relationships with them based on a high degree of trust, alignment, and collaboration and to provide additional resources to further build their businesses."
In commenting on his experience partnering with Riverside Partners, Dr. Prabu Nambiar, founder of Syner-G BioPharma Group, a current portfolio company of Riverside, said the following, "I selected Riverside as my partner because of their sector expertise and value-added approach to building companies - I could not be more pleased with my choice.

The Riverside team has provided deep expertise, meaningful operational and strategic support, valuable introductions to customers, and significant investment for expansion - both organically and through acquisition. Throughout our business building journey, they have been excellent partners demonstrating collaboration, support, and alignment every step of the way."
