H/L Ventures is redefining what it means to be a proactive partner to entrepreneurs with its holistic platform approach.
The firm's platform offers entrepreneurs access to an extensive network of mentors, advisors, and potential partners to propel their growth.
Galina Ozgur, VP of Platform at H/L Ventures, believes founders need to be over-resourced and armed with more tools to build a successful company.
The platform team's ability to diagnose unique needs accurately and match the right resources accordingly is key.
However, leadership teams often overlook the foundational requirements for platform success, such as clear goals, objectives, and KPIs.
Silos can also hinder collaboration, leading to a misalignment of post-investment support.
H/L Ventures engages in a Wishlist Call with entrepreneurs to develop a tailored support plan for the crucial first 30 days post-investment.
The firm's success with a proactive platform approach is measured by Net Promoter Score (NPS), with additional satisfaction surveys to uncover hidden needs.
H/L Ventures remains committed to investing in ventures that deliver positive social or environmental impact, with a strong preference for diversely founded teams.
Galina's ultimate goal is to maximize the impact of innovative ideas, particularly those championed by underrepresented founders.
