3i is a world leader in private equity and venture capital.

We are active across all stages of funding. From early-stage venture capital to growth capital and buyouts, we invest 1.5bn a year in some of the most exciting and ambitious companies in the world.

We are dedicated to value creation. Our purpose is to substantially increase the value of our portfolio companies and then to realise this value, both for ourselves and for our partners, through trade sales and stock market listings. Our track record demonstrates that we have consistently achieved this - even in the toughest of bear markets.

3i's international relationship network is unique. Our team of over 300 investment professionals spans three continents, linking us to a wealth of corporate contacts and industry experts. This gives us both a local and global view of industry trends. The breadth of our network ensures that we are able to bring together the best team, with the right experience and relationships for each investment opportunity. It also means we have the scale, the agility and the talent needed to deliver even the most challenging deals.
