HPA is transforming early-stage investing by taking a people-first approach. The organization is the most active early-stage investor group in the Midwest. With a membership of over 100 successful entrepreneurs, executives, and venture capitalists, the group provides critical strategic expertise to entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial community. More than half of our members have founded a company; most are CEOs, top executives, or corporate board members; and 100% invest in startups. By leveraging the members’ deep and broad knowledge of multiple industries and financial capital, HPA has driven multiple exits and invested millions of dollars in over 50 portfolio companies that have created thousands of jobs in the Midwest since 2006.
