How We Invest
We believe in ownership over speculation, clarity over complexity, and value over noise.
Our principles guide every decision:
Never chase the hype
Invest in what we understand
Add value beyond the initial investment
Our edge lies in research, contrarian thinking, and the freedom to move small and fast.
We support SMEs in frontier markets and invest with value in developed economies.

What We Do
HVI builds growth from its own capital and backs ideas with real substance.
Our reach spans public markets in the UK, Europe, and the Americas, digital assets shaping the next decade, and private businesses across Sub Saharan Africa particularly small and medium sized enterprises (SME's).
We’re drawn to useful companies, strong operators, and founders who care deeply about what they do.
Our aim is to turn sound ideas, into lasting value and change that outlives the investment.
Our Story
Hill Valley Investments (HVI) launched with the equivalent of an average house deposit.
There was no fanfare, no loud music, no launch party and no social media campaign.
Just the founders who were hell bent on turning small capital into lasting wealth.
Our strategy was simple, focus on our interests, whilst adding value to others along the way.
This became our road to success.
Our Community
We invest in people, ideas, and partnerships that connect Africa and the UK.
Our community brings together founders, thinkers, and creators building long term value across both regions.
