02AboutWho we are

Direct investment in the companies we find, and the route to market that follows.

3Stripe is an accelerator and a venture studio. We do not run a programme and leave: specialists who have worked each stage run it themselves.

Investment first, then overseas expansion, introductions to investors, governments and institutions, revenue, and the spin-out that follows.

Company selection, local meeting schedules, interpretation and follow-up are run on site by the people responsible for them.
