H/L Ventures core principles are perfectly aligned with ours; focused on creating measurable social impact through product and service delivery mechanisms that respect the environment and value the contributions of all stakeholders. We’re very impressed with the broad range of relationships that the H/L Ventures principals have developed and which they unsparingly share with us when appropriate. The advice we have received from H/L Ventures over the years has been invaluable and we look forward to a long and productive relationship for many more years to come.
