eCapital was named to Inc.’s inaugural Power Partner Awards. The program honors B2B organizations that have proven track records supporting entrepreneurs and helping startups grow. eCapital is recognized among firms across marketing and advertising, health and human resources, financial planning, engineering, logistics and security, as well as other areas of business.

“Startups face similar cash flow challenges and need a financial partner that will truly champion them and their growth,” Marius Silvasan, CEO of eCapital, said. “We are honored to receive this recognition, which further validates our team’s customer-centric approach and ongoing innovation to provide them with the financial resources needed to optimize their access to capital and achieve their goals.”

eCapital offers a range of funding solutions to create the working capital businesses need, including freight factoring, factoring lines of credit, receivables financing, inventory financing and asset-based loans.

All 252 companies on the Power Partner Awards list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leaders navigate the dynamic world of startups. These B2B partners support entrepreneurs across various facets of a business, including hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration and fundraising.

“Trusted B2B partners provide guidance and expertise that founders rely on at various steps of their organization’s journey. Partners with demonstrated ability to deliver quality support are at the core of entrepreneurship and help bring big ideas to life,” Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., said.

To create the list, Inc. partnered with social and media intelligence platform Meltwater to develop a proprietary methodology that uses sentiment from online conversations about organizations and translates it into numerical scores. Companies were evaluated on commitment, reliability, trust, creativity, supportiveness and other virtues that offer value to clients. Inc. also conducted surveys to gather client testimonials as part of the process.
