Three Hills

Three Hills

Three Hills was founded in London and operates as a private equity firm deploying flexible capital across Europe and North America. The firm structures investments through multiple lenses—growth, expansion, management buyouts, and reorganisations—often alongside incumbent management teams. Its core geography spans the United Kingdom and continental Europe, with a selective mandate extending into North American opportunities. The firm's strategy gravitates toward technology-enabled businesses and enterprise software, though its flexible capital mandate allows it to engage across stages and structures. Its hybrid approach means it can write growth equity checks for late-stage expansion or take control positions in management buyout and reorganisation scenarios. The firm has historically operated with a low public profile, keeping individual deal announcements limited. Its investment activity is understood to center on mid-market European companies where it can provide structured equity solutions rather than standardised fund-to-fund deployment. As a private equity manager headquartered in London, Three Hills maintains a lean operational footprint with no publicly disclosed additional offices. The firm does not publish AUM or aggregate deployment figures as a matter of practice. Its investment team size and exact capital base remain undislosed in public regulatory filings and commercial databases as of mid-2026. Three Hills' structural shape departs from the conventional blind-pool private equity fund. By offering a flexible capital mandate that spans buyout, growth, reorganisation, and hybrid instruments, it competes with both traditional GPs and direct structured-capital providers. This architecture gives management teams a single counterparty for transactions that would otherwise require stitching together multiple capital sources—a model that relies on the firm remaining deliberately undisclosed about its balance-sheet size and limited-partner composition.
