Our philosophy
Our strategy is underpinned by two core beliefs. First, that tech is a horizontal, impacting virtually every industry and business. Second, that tech is one ecosystem, where success means understanding both disruptors and incumbents. These beliefs help us partner with and accelerate the growth of today’s market leaders and those of the future.
Tech is a horizontal
In today’s world, tech is disrupting virtually every industry. Technology has become mission-critical across all sectors and has empowered businesses large and small to become more competitive in their respective industries. As a result, accelerating growth for many tech companies requires a partner with not only deep technology expertise, but also knowledge of and relationships within other sectors and vertical end-markets.
Tech is one ecosystem
Tech, by its very nature, is dynamic and fluid. The ecosystem thrives from a constant cross-pollination of ideas, talent, and customers. Consequently, it takes a knowledge and perspective of – and relationships with – both early disruptors and established incumbents to have the holistic view necessary to identify and support the next generation of tech leaders.
Our approach
We’ve built a different kind of tech franchise – one that’s structured around emerging trends and across sub-sectors and geographies. With our global presence, deep cross-sector network, company-scaling resources, and flexible capital, we believe our approach makes us the ideal partner for companies focused on innovation and growth at scale.
Global presence
Tech isn’t constrained by borders. To grow at scale often requires local and global know-how. With 16 offices in 13 countries across five continents, we believe we’re ideally positioned to help our partners succeed in domestic and global markets alike.
Deep cross-sector network
Technology has become an enabling layer across all sectors of the economy, empowering businesses to better reach, serve, and solve problems for their clients, customers, and employees. Advent’s experience and long history of investing in the business & financial services, consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors – and the networks we’ve developed while doing so – give us the expertise to help companies disrupt their markets.
Company-scaling resources
Our vast specialist resources help ambitious teams hire faster, build better product, and scale their go-to-market. Our extensive network of ex-CEOS and CXOs, industry advisors, and functional experts has the experience and passion needed to support world-class tech businesses’ growth.
Flexible capital
We have a wealth of flexibility in both the size and type of company we can support. This allows us to work with ambitious tech companies, ranging from minority growth to majority recapitalizations. Having one team with extensive experience across the tech continuum enables us to meet great companies no matter where they are in their lifecycles.
