Primary Evidence
"All 3G companies have strong internship and trainee programs that select, every year, a couple dozen young professionals among thousands and thousands of applicants. These trainees go on to be trained and rotated at many of the companies’ operations, and go on to assume a lot of responsibility early on. 3G companies also hire MBAs for summer internships and picks the best of them for full time positions.[11]"

"3G started out trading in liquid markets and allocating capital in third-party managers via a fund-of-funds. Later on, the firm concentrated its efforts on making large, concentrated investments in publicly traded companies, an asset class commonly known as PIPE (private investment in public equities.)"
