Hg Wealth

“Hg has become a truly transatlantic agent of business growth over the past ten years. Emblematic of this was our May 2024 investment in AuditBoard for $3 billion, a huge success for our San Francisco team less than two years after we opened our West Coast office." Alan Cline, Head of North America   We’re thrilled to feature in GrowthCap’s top 30 Private Equity Firms for 2024 for a third year. A big thank you and congratulations to everyone involved in Hg and our family of companies for contributing to another successful year.   Congratulations too, to our fellow nominees!   Read the full list here: https://lnkd.in/eRjH5Wnj For the latest on Hg and portfolio news, subscribe to our monthly updates: https://lnkd.in/gaviswzy

An insightful discussion with Jonathan Wulkan, Director at Hg, who shares his thoughts on what factors are driving private equity's interest in VC-backed businesses - referencing our recent investment in AuditBoard - with Anne Sraders and Freya Pratty at Sifted.   💡Other exit options, like IPOs, are lacking.
