Our Approach

Hg is a leading investor in European and transatlantic technology and services businesses.

Hg focuses on building transatlantic champions that provide critical services for many thousands of businesses globally.

We’re a tech investor that has both a strong European heritage and scaled presence across North America.

We are investing in the future – helping to progress workplace automation and AI trends now entering a new phase of acceleration, but still in the early stages of adoption and set to transform the workplace for professionals over decades to come.

That’s what we do at Hg. Over 25 years we’ve helped companies navigate successive waves of technology change to build enduring champions. We come to work every day to find companies with great potential and work alongside entrepreneurial leaders, with modern, well-invested products and clear transformation theses. To build enduring champions that are ready for what’s ahead.

A European and transatlantic portfolio worth $180 billion

Hg has over 430 employees across London, Munich, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Singapore a current portfolio of over 58 businesses, worth over $185 billion in aggregate enterprise value, with +130,000 employees globally, consistently growing revenues at more than 18% annually.

All facts and figures as at 30 September 2025, adjusted for post period events, including realised and partially realised technology & services investments made post-independence from 2001 to 2025. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up as a result of market and currency fluctuations and investors may not get back the amount they originally invested.

The foundations of Hg support

To build an enterprise that endures, you need deep expertise in your industry, operational specialists who can transform your business, a network to expand your reach and a long-term partner who believes in building your legacy. We offer all four.

Decades long experience

Hg focuses on mission-critical systems operating deterministic workflows in highly regulated industries, serving white-collar professionals, typically within eight specialist clusters.

Tax & accounting professionals and regulators increasingly use software applications to manage mission-critical tasks, enabling them to be compliant and accurate whilst also enabling real-time reporting capabilities. This use of software, across several areas within the ‘office of the CFO’, is still in the early stages of what could be one of the biggest adoption waves for next generation cloud business software.

Legal and regulatory compliance processes are an increasingly essential part of business and wider society – ensuring transparency, safety, employee well-being, corporate responsibility, whilst also mitigating risk. Cloud technologies are rapidly overhauling manual processes that have long been the status quo, transforming the fundamental way these professions work and improving how we all manage risk.

The global healthcare sector faces rapidly increasing demand, constrained budgets and shortages in clinical staff. The software and data businesses we back bring about positive change, improving outcomes for the whole ecosystem - across patients, providers and payors - through our focus on healthcare operations, specialist core systems, life sciences, interoperability and population health sectors.
