New Ventures

Turn Problems into Portfolio Companies

Your customer relationships and industry knowledge can be the starting point for a new company. We test demand with real customers, then decide together whether the opportunity is worth building.

When a venture is greenlit, HVL co-builds and co-invests alongside you. We put our own capital at risk in the company we build together.
