Advent International

Founded in Boston in 1984 by Peter Brooke, Advent International began as an international investment platform and has since developed into a global private equity investor. The firm invests across developed and emerging markets and works with management teams, entrepreneurs, and founders.

Advent invests across five core sectors: business and financial services, consumer, healthcare, industrial, and technology. Its strategy combines global reach with specialist sub-sector knowledge and operational resources to support sourcing, deal execution, and portfolio-company value creation.

The firm is especially strong in cross-border private equity and sector-focused investing, with particular expertise in areas such as payments, financial technology, healthcare services, industrial technology, and technology-enabled businesses.
