About ThreeHill
ThreeHill Capital Partners is a private investment company with the primary objective of buying and running a small to medium sized business for the long term. We are fortunate to have patient and flexible capital that allows an atypically long investment horizon resulting in a true focus on creating lasting value. Our investor base is made up of highly skilled and successful entrepreneurs with extensive experience investing, operating and strengthening companies in this landscape.
We at ThreeHill have a high priority focus on the "people" and "relationship" aspect of business. In fact, the genesis of our company's name is a testament to our roots: Maria Bissell, founder of John's high school Hotchkiss, was born on Tory Hill; St. Sebastian's, Tucker's high school, was founded on Nonantum Hill; and Middlebury, where both founders attended college, is colloquially known as "the College on the Hill" - hence the Three Hills of our foundation!
About the Founders
John and Tucker matriculated at Middlebury College in the fall of 2008, both as Men's Varsity Ice Hockey recruits, which is where their partnership originated. With John being the starting goaltender, and Tucker his main defenseman, their 12-year long friendship all began with being teammates, classmates and roommates. Their relationship grew stronger post-college, and after eight years of distinct professional experiences, both continued to have the desire to compete together again through becoming business partners, following in Tucker's fathers footsteps and entering the world of entrepreneurship.
