M&A advisers
Founders Advisors is a merger, acquisition, and strategic advisory firm headquartered in the United States, serving middle-market companies. Established in 2003 by Managing Partner Duane Donner, the firm specializes in industries such as oil and gas, industrials, software, industrial technology, internet, digital media, and healthcare. Founders has a notable presence nationwide, with a particular focus on companies based in the Southeastern U.S.
The firm employs a team of around 60 skilled professionals who provide process-based solutions for growth capital acquisition, mergers and acquisitions, and preparing for liquidity events. Certain principals of Founders are licensed with M&A Securities Group, Inc. or Founders M&A Advisory, LLC, both members of FINRA & SIPC, to offer securities-related services. Founders M&A Advisory is a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on providing advisory services without giving investment advice.
Zane Tarence, initially a member of the Founders Advisory Board, joined the firm in 2007, contributing to its growth and client outreach across diverse industries. Founders Advisors operates on the guiding principle of the Golden Rule Plus: treating clients with respect and integrity.
