Rand Blazer's addition deepens the team of operators and investors behind Founders Camp Capital, further equipping founder-led technology and professional services businesses to professionalize, scale, and position for their next stage of growth.
New York, NY / Washington, D.C., September 24, 2026 — Founders Camp Capital, LLC (“Founders Camp Capital” or “the Firm”), a private investment firm pairing operating and transaction experience with AI and digital transformation capability to back founder-led technology and professional services businesses in the lower middle market, today announced that Rand Blazer has joined the firm as Senior Advisor.
The firm formally launched in August. Founders Camp Capital invests in businesses generating $10 million to $50 million in revenue and $2 million to $10 million in EBITDA across U.S. commercial and federal government end markets, investing deal-by-deal and pursuing minority and control investments.
Founders Camp Capital invests across two tracks:
Within these tracks, the firm focuses on six specific themes, from data, cloud and AI infrastructure to cybersecurity, detailed at founderscampcapital.com.
Founders Camp Capital is built around a single conviction: the greatest value creation opportunity in the AI economy is not in building better models. It is in backing the firms enterprises and government rely on to make AI work, and the specialist firms they can't operate without — businesses grounded in industry, functional and/or technical domain expertise, client trust, and switching costs that are difficult to replace.
Rand's addition reflects what sets Founders Camp Capital apart. The firm has assembled a team with complementary experience and the right skills to guide and support founders and their teams. This breadth and depth of talent rarely exists in middle market private equity, and Founders Camp Capital is endeavoring to build something unique and different to meet an underserved need in the market. Beyond capital, that team brings the operating experience, network, and capital markets discipline a founder-led business needs to grow into a stronger, more valuable version of itself, long before any transaction is on the table.
Rand Blazer brings four decades of leadership at the intersection of technology, professional services, and public markets. He currently serves as Executive Vice Chairman of Everforth, Inc. (NYSE: EFOR). He previously served as President of Apex Systems and, following its acquisition, President of ASGN, where he significantly grew the business. Earlier in his career, he was President of the public sector business at SAP America. Before that, he served as Chairman and CEO of KPMG Consulting, later BearingPoint, where he orchestrated the firm's spinout IPO from KPMG, at the time the fourth-largest IPO in NASDAQ history.
“I understand the difference between a plan on paper and the realities of running a business. The right investor should make your business stronger, not just financially engineer it, and that means bringing more than capital: experienced operators, an expansive network, and insight into how to position the business to be relevant to clients and for where markets are headed. Value isn't created at the exit. It's built years before. That's exactly the kind of partner Founders Camp Capital is built to be, and exactly why I wanted to be part of it.”
Rand Blazer, Senior Advisor, Founders Camp Capital
“Rand has built and scaled technology and consulting businesses from hundreds of millions to billions in revenue and brings real depth of leadership, expertise, judgment, and pattern recognition. I have known Rand for more than two decades, we've worked closely together on transactions and business building, and I am excited to have him formally in the camp.”
