Global private equity firm Advent International is seeking $3bn for its second technology-focused fund, less than two years after collecting $2bn for its debut tech offering, according to people familiar with the fundraising efforts.
Advent’s technology funds make investments in smaller tech deals and co-invest in larger deals alongside other Advent-managed funds.
If the firm reaches its fundraising target, Advent Global Technology II LP would be 50% larger than its predecessor.
