Hg Response
4yWe respectfully disagree with these comments, which we think are unfounded.
Hg has spent over 20 years focusing on investing in very specific end clusters of B2B software – building our knowledge and operational capabilities in this sector.
The results of this focus speak for themselves. Hg has successfully scaled well over one hundred technology companies across Europe and North America and the performance of our recent funds put them in the very top echelons of the global rankings.
The strength of these long term returns confirms that our willingness to invest in and develop the best businesses in our industry, works for our investors.
More importantly, we’re also very proud of our culture which, underpinned by our values, has been core to our success over decades. We place huge emphasis internally on our inclusivity and our teams’ diversity.
This inclusive culture attracts the very best executives - most of our 30 Partners have been with the business for more than a decade, coming from a wide range of backgrounds and building very successful, long-term careers at Hg
Please feel free to approach any of the Hg partner group with your concerns – all of the above is incredibly important to the firm and we take any misgivings you have incredibly seriously.
