3L Capital

3L Capital is a growth equity investment firm that backs emerging growth companies in three sectors: commerce, enterprise software, and technology-enabled services. The firm invests alongside founders and management teams, pairing capital with strategic, operational and governance support. Its stated aim is to help portfolio companies become category leaders; the firm describes its contribution as capital, perspective and relationships rather than capital alone.

Named portfolio investments include Metropolis, AvantStay, Incode and Crisp Technologies. The work with these companies extends beyond the initial cheque: 3L assists with identifying leadership needs and hiring, establishing financial reporting and planning processes, aligning capital structures and supporting subsequent fundraising, alongside active participation in corporate governance. The firm describes a long-term partnership approach, working alongside management teams as companies develop and scale.

The team combines operators and investors, supported by investment and operating professionals. 3L Capital has a presence in Los Angeles and New York City. Its technical areas of focus span enterprise software, commerce technology and technology-enabled services, as well as the financial and governance disciplines - capital structuring, financial reporting and planning, corporate governance - that underpin its operating support.
