HVF

Andreas von Blottnitz serves as Founding Partner and leads strategic investment decisions. The firm operates with a collaborative decision-making model, drawing on its team of around 15 professionals across four offices. No single CIO or CEO is publicly designated beyond the founding partner (public record).

HVF leverages its multi-family office network and the established reputations of its founding families. It frequently co-invests with venture firms such as Sequoia Capital and Accel, gaining access to deal flow through those relationships (public record). The firm maintains a long-term presence in Silicon Valley, building relationships with founders and investors directly.

HVF is a multi-family office, not a single-family office or a traditional venture capital firm. It pools capital from a small group of technology-wealthy families. While it makes venture-stage investments, it does not manage external LP capital in the traditional VC sense—its investment decisions are driven by the families' collective objectives (public record).

HVF participates in both fund commitments and direct co-investments. The firm acts as a limited partner in select venture funds while also making direct investments alongside those GPs. Its direct co-investment activity has increased in recent years, as seen in its 2024 participation in a $300 million Series C round for an AI infrastructure company (per industry reports, 2024).

HVF invests across venture capital and growth equity stages, with a preference for Series A through later-stage rounds. The firm also allocates to infrastructure deals. It does not typically engage in seed-stage or public equity investments. Its long-duration capital allows it to hold positions across multiple financing rounds without pressure to exit (public record).

HVF has not publicly disclosed any sectors it avoids. Its documented portfolio focuses on technology sectors such as enterprise software, fintech, digital health, climate technology, cybersecurity, and infrastructure. The firm appears comfortable with a broad technology mandate and does not explicitly exclude any industries (public record).

HVF was founded by Andreas von Blottnitz using his family's technology and venture capital wealth. It has since expanded to serve a small group of families, but the von Blottnitz family remains central to the firm's governance and capital base. The firm operates independently of any single family's day-to-day affairs, functioning as a multi-family office with its own investment team (public record).
