Company mission
To support the building of sector-leading enterprises that supply businesses with critical software applications or workflow services, delivering a more automated workplace for their customers.
Our take
Hg is an investment firm that supports software and services leaders that transform how people work. Backing trends in digitisation, the firm aims to enable transformation by accelerating the progress of proven software and services.
Operating for over 20 years, Hg is now a leading investor in both European and Transatlantic businesses. Its "job", as it puts it, is to accelerate progress by scaling and creating enterprises that will have a lasting impact on the world of work. To this end, it provides its chosen partners with funding and access to a network of talent and knowledge.
Despite the volatility of the investment market, Hg's portfolio has continued to perform. This is partly because of its "cautious approach" to investment during the first part of 2023. This proves the resilience of the company and its ability to make smart decisions even under pressure - which certainly bodes well for its future.
