Everything for your success

Fast

Entrepreneurs have to act swiftly and flexibly or promising opportunities could pass them by. The HPV team knows this from their own experience in the field. With our lean and effective structure we can operate and make decisions more quickly than others and therefore meet the demand of today's business environment. This does not only apply to our investment decisions but also to business decisions.

Open Horizons

A global outlook is essential for success in the modern business world. Therefore we are looking for the most promising investments and putting special emphasis on ideas with an international approach - particularly the US market. The experience of our team and our wide-ranging network is an integral part of our investment philosophy.

Network

No company can thrive without a flourishing network. Our contacts range from the relevant industries such as IT, Media and Cleantech to VC partners, financial institutions and various specialized service providers (see also the "our friends and partner" section). We use our network to provide optimal support to our portfolio companies.

Conferences & Events

We organize a regular forum on entrepreneurship to provide our portfolio companies with a platform for an exchange of experiences, information and contacts.

The Forum on Entrepreneurship has been our main communication tool from the start, a great place for networking and always a lot of fun. In 2005 and in 2006, the Forum took place under the title "Start Up and Grow" and marked the start of our fund and our ﬁrst investments.

At "Design IT" in 2007, we saw vivid discussions related to design and its implications for IT and entrepreneurship. Probably the most moving event was our Forum on "Social Entrepreneurship" in 2008.
And in 2009 under the impression of the global economic downturn we advised our friends: "Crisis? Don't miss the chance!".

DLI (design-led innovation)

DLI synergises technological, business and user interests to create a revolutionary design method. The design-led approach puts the end user in the centre of the whole product development process. This method shortens development cycles, increases user acceptance and in the end, a more successful product. D-LABS, one of our investments, are recognized experts in this field and offer their experience and innovation to our portfolio companies.
