More Interconnected, Not Less
3i Members Expands in London, Toronto, and Israel
Our ambition is to build the world's best business community, which requires a real presence in the world's major financial hubs.
Despite the current geopolitical backdrop, our core belief is that the world is getting more interconnected, not less. We believe the quality of that interconnection is what matters most. The smartest investors want to see deals, ideas, and meet people from everywhere—not just their core locale.
This is the foundation of our expansion, and why we are now actively hiring for key roles in our three foundational hubs: London, Toronto, and Israel.
Our community is hybrid—it thrives both in-person and virtually. We believe the most important thing we can do to build a meaningful presence in a new city is to:
Put a dedicated team member on the ground.
Recruit a core of regional leaders.
Empower them with direction and resources, and focus on expanding their networks.
This hiring push is an important shift. Our global community has grown to 700 members, with approximately 100 already based across these three hubs. We are now moving from establishing that initial presence to strategically scaling our teams.
We chose these hubs for their distinct, factual advantages:
London: Our gateway to European capital markets and its deep fintech community.
Toronto: A primary North American node with strong institutional infrastructure and a growing tech talent base.
Israel: Our direct link to the "startup nation," providing access to high-intensity R&D and emerging tech.
This hybrid model is already creating tangible value. We see it daily in our global WhatsApp groups: a member from Israel will post that they’re landing in London, and within minutes, local members raise their hands to host them for lunch or at their private clubs. This is our interconnected network in action.
