Building Lifelong Investor Relationships with Family Offices
What’s the secret to building long-term capital partnerships with family offices? In this episode of The Investor Relations Podcast, host Joshua Wilson is joined by Dr. Thomas J Powell, Founder of The Founder’s Office™, to explore the mindset and practices that foster lifelong investor trust.
Dr. Powell explains why the first investment is just the beginning of the relationship—and how transparent communication during both growth and turbulence separates short-term managers from lasting leaders. Drawing from over 30 years of experience managing capital strategies and investor relationships, Tom shares insights on how to handle challenges, raise follow-on capital, and navigate economic downturns without losing credibility.

Founder
Imagine this: It’s 2 a.m. The screen from your laptop hums while your idea, your capital, and your team hang in the balance. You need the next step spelled out, a conversation with someone who can turn those uncertainties into clarity.
Dr. Thomas Powell is not just another voice in the capital game. He’s a founder’s founder. A strategist who’s been in the fire and still walks through it for the people he serves. Over the last three decades, he’s structured over $3.2 billion in capital, led global funds, shaped policy at the highest levels, and built a reputation for turning risk and regulation into opportunity and advantage.
Tom doesn’t play in the noise. He builds structure, clarity, and momentum, especially when everything feels like it’s about to come apart. He’s the man behind The Founder’s Office™, an elite advisory and advocacy firm helping founder-led businesses align their capital strategy with legal protection, leadership clarity, and long-term legacy.
What sets him apart? He’s not just fluent in finance, he speaks founder. He understands the isolation, the weight, the stakes. When you need more than just a lawyer, more than just a banker, more than just a coach, you call Tom.
He’s a Doctor of Law and Policy. A constitutional strategist. A real-estate developer. A global skier. A father and a grandfather. And perhaps most of all, an unwavering advocate for those still crazy enough to build.
