October 2025 – Tamarix is proud to announce its recognition on the Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list.

“We have focused on investing in entrepreneur-founded and family-owned businesses for over thirty years,” said Mark Hauser, Tamarix’s Managing Partner. “We assist such founders as partners, working with them to build upon their excellent foundation and supplementing their industry knowledge with our financial and operating expertise. Receiving this award is a testament to our history and investment focus.”
