HGV is an early stage venture capital company founded as the result of a union between venture capital industry legend, Bill Hambrecht and Igor Sill, an experienced software operating executive with extensive executive team building skills used in the recruitment of Silicon Valley's most successful companies (Salesforce.com, Siebel, Oracle, Business Objects, MySQL, Tumbleweed, Weblogic, Sybase). 

We intend to support our investments through our extensive access to world class executive talent, and depth of real-world business experience in helping driven entrepreneurs build successful technology companies. To that effort we bring our own experience and our global network to startups, as well as our commitment to work by your side to create a truly successful and enduring company. We'll see to it that you get access to industry luminaries, prospective customers and distribution partners globally, world-class board members and exceptional executives for key positions. It takes exceptional people to build exceptional companies. We're here to help build yours. As Jack Welch says "Its all about people."

“Igor and Bill are the best, they bring a lot more than talent to the table. Salesforce.com is built strictly on our ability to recruit the very best people, to execute the best approach, and to deliver superb results to our customers.  Bill Hambrecht and Igor Sill have been true partners in our business in several ways: First, they have been unbelievably helpful in identifying and recruiting key talent that is a part of our management team today. Second, they've been wonderful about providing us with sound business advice. And third, they have been wonderful about getting us access to new customers and key investors. They are absolutely one of the best partners that we could ever hope for in our business.”
