HH GLOBAL PARTNERS
Thesis-led, globally active investor group
We are investing on behalf of a highly experienced and internationally well-established group of investors who are actively involved in the sourcing and analysis of our investment opportunities. Our principals have professional backgrounds in private equity, venture capital and public financial markets.
We provide growth capital for businesses throughout their corporate lifecycle: From early stage financings of founder-led companies in high growth industries, to joint investments in growth capital raises to investments in more fully developed sectors with idiosyncratic value creation potential. We combine our investments with support on business strategy, acquisitions, development of joint ventures and on value-maximizing exits and play an active role through board positions.
In the past decade, we have actively worked with a number of exciting start-up and scale up companies as well as market-leading players, in Germany, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe.
In real estate, we have evaluated and invested in a number of development and transformation projects and evaluation throughout Europe.
We also invest indirectly through managers with an edge and proven track record in the hedge fund, venture capital and private equity space globally.
