HG Ventures

HG Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of The Heritage Group (THG). It supports innovation and growth by investing and partnering with private companies developing new technologies and approaches in THG’s core and adjacent markets. THG’s purpose is to build a safer, more enriching and sustainable world by harnessing the power of family. By leveraging the world-class expertise of THG operating companies and research centre, HG Ventures offers a unique value proposition to its portfolio company partners.

HG Ventures invests in early stage and growth stage companies developing advanced materials and systems for transportation infrastructure, environmental services and specialty chemicals.

We will invest at the pre-revenue and pre-product stage, but we want to see the beginnings of a dedicated, full-time executive team. We are based in the United States, and we have made multiple investments in the UK and look forward to helping more UK-based companies grow in the UK and expand to the United States if appropriate.

Generally, HG Ventures will invest up to $20 million in each portfolio company, but we have the ability to invest more depending on the opportunity. We are flexible with regard to initial investment amounts, including participation in relatively small financings. We take a long-term approach to building value. We focus on value creation milestones with no fixed expectations for liquidity.

Our team has the capability to lead and structure financings, but we will also follow other investors into a syndicate. We will be actively involved in helping companies grow and will take board seats when appropriate.

We apply strict confidentiality policies and procedures to protect private company information. All proprietary information is secured within a small, defined group of HG Ventures professionals and is not shared with others in THG unless authorized by our entrepreneur partners.
