“We are excited to be partnering with G3, our fourth investment from our maiden fund. At All Seas Capital, we are receiving great interest in our strategy to support entrepreneur and family-owned mid-market businesses across Western Europe; businesses that already have a certain amount of scale but are in need of support and capital as the catalyst for real business growth, but do not want to sell a majority stake. We are already hard at work with the G3 team and look forward to supporting the acceleration of its expansion strategies.”
