Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Hudson Structured Capital Management?
Michael Millette, the firm's founder and Managing Partner, leads investment strategy. He works alongside Partners Michael Doherty and Chris Collins, who share sourcing and underwriting responsibilities. The partnership operates from Stamford, with sector specialists distributed across offices in Santa Monica, New York, Denver, and Novi.
How does HSCM source proprietary deal flow?
HSCM's origination model leans on Michael Millette's network from his tenure as head of structured finance for financial institutions at Goldman Sachs, where he structured landmark insurance-linked securities. The partnership leverages relationships with global reinsurers, specialty carriers, and insurance brokers to access deals before they reach broader auction processes. This insurance-ecosystem sourcing differentiates HSCM from generalist venture and credit platforms.
Is HSCM structured as a family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Hudson Structured Capital Management is a registered asset manager, not a family office. The firm functions as a hybrid investment platform running venture, growth equity, and structured credit strategies under a single mandate. It raises capital from institutional investors rather than managing a single family's wealth.
Does HSCM participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
HSCM primarily executes direct investments and co-investments, spanning venture equity, growth equity, and structured credit. There is no public evidence that the firm makes substantial commitments to third-party funds. The partnership structures bespoke financings directly with portfolio companies, often alongside strategic insurance industry co-investors.
What investment stages does HSCM typically target?
HSCM targets early-stage venture, growth equity, and structured credit opportunities. The firm's mandate allows it to invest across the lifecycle of portfolio companies — providing seed-stage equity to insurtech startups and later supplying structured credit or acquisition financing as those companies scale. Stage coverage varies by sector and opportunity.
Which sectors does HSCM explicitly focus on?
HSCM concentrates on insurance, financial technology, enterprise software, healthcare services, and real estate. Within insurance, the firm targets insurtech platforms, distribution technology, and service providers that intersect with carriers and reinsurers. The partnership's dual venture-credit structure reflects the insurance sector's mix of startup innovation and capital-intensive balance-sheet businesses.
Where did Michael Millette work before founding HSCM?
Michael Millette spent nearly two decades at Goldman Sachs, where he rose to head the financial institutions structured finance group. He was instrumental in developing the insurance-linked securities market, structuring catastrophe bonds and other risk-transfer instruments. That experience shapes HSCM's dual venture and structured credit strategy focused on insurance-adjacent businesses.
