At 3Q Partners, we utilize our collective Emotional Quotient (EQ), Intelligence Quotient (IQ), and Social Quotient (SQ) to source, evaluate, acquire, enhance, and successfully exit private businesses. 3Q invests in both performing and under-performing lower middle market businesses that offer a superior value proposition to their customers and also exhibit potential for expansion, revitalization, operational improvement, and/or growth. The firm looks for these investment opportunities within founder & family-owned businesses, corporate divestitures, complex carve-outs, and special situations across a wide range of industries and geographic markets.
Post-acquisition, 3Q Investment Partners utilizes its proprietary human capital framework, which intentionally deploys diversity, equity, & inclusion into its portfolio companies, to enhance financial and social impact returns for all stakeholders.

Our collective team and advisors have the experience, skillset, and network that enables us to be well-positioned to invest in the lower middle market while also having an intentionally positive social impact. Our competitive advantages include:
