Oliver Libby<\/p><\/div>\n

Oliver Libby<\/a>, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of H\/L Ventures<\/a> has profoundly influenced impact investing. Since founding H\/L Ventures in 2009, Oliver has been instrumental in championing high-growth entrepreneurs, often from underrepresented backgrounds, who aspire to create ventures that benefit both people and the planet. With a commitment to diversity, the executive teams of H\/L Ventures’ portfolio companies are among the most diverse in the venture capital industry, reflecting Oliver\u2019s dedication to inclusive entrepreneurship. Under his leadership, H\/L Ventures has developed a distinctive approach of Daily Active Engagement, which involves providing continuous support to portfolio companies, facilitating business development, talent acquisition, and strategic advice. This hands-on methodology, supported by a core team of nearly 70 professionals and an expert network of approximately 300, has set a new standard in venture capital, fostering deep connections that enhance potential success and returns. Notable companies within H\/L\u2019s portfolio include Automotus, Group Black, and Sealed, each exemplifying the firm\u2019s ethos of impactful and sustainable growth. Additionally, Oliver co-founded The Resolution Project in 2007, a non-profit that has launched over 700 young social entrepreneurs across 85 countries. The project supports student entrepreneurs with initial funding and mentorship, contributing to a significant positive impact on over six million people globally. Furthermore, Oliver’s foresight and commitment have made H\/L Ventures a leader in the field of impact investing, continuously setting new benchmarks for socially responsible entrepreneurship.
