First Foundation Inc.
A financial services firm that pairs wealth management with a bank, First Foundation began in 1990 as The Keller Group, a fee-based investment advisory outfit, before launching First Foundation Bank in Irvine, California in 2007 to serve those clients. The firm renamed itself First Foundation in 2008 to reflect its "solid, fundamental approach" to planning. In 2026 its bank merged into Sunflower Bank and its advisory arm became part of the FirstSun Capital Bancorp family, though it still runs under the First Foundation name.
