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 conferences and other events to provide our portfolio companies with a platform for an exchange of experiences, information and contacts.

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.
