What is a founder-friendly investment bank?

A founder-friendly investment bank puts the long-term interests of the founder ahead of transaction volume. At BayTech, that means senior banker involvement at every stage, transparent fee structures, and advice calibrated to founder goals — whether maximizing valuation, preserving equity, finding the right strategic partner, or timing a raise around business milestones.
