Livingbridge is a mid-market private equity firm launched in 1995.[1] Headquartered in London, the firm also has offices in, Melbourne, Australia [2] and Boston, US.[3]
Livingbridge was known until November 2014 as Isis Equity Partners, but rebranded as it was "no longer prepared to share [its name] with a terrorist organisation".[4][5][6]
Since 1995 it has invested in over 100 UK businesses.[7]
Livingbridge invests across four sectors: technology, services, healthcare and consumer.[8][9]

In 2016 it raised £660m in its eighth fundraise, its largest to date. In April 2016 Livingbridge announced the sale of Frank Recruitment Group to TPG Capital.[14]
