Matthew Pellini, Co-Head of Venture Capital and Growth Equity at Hamilton Lane, commented: “With companies choosing to stay private for longer, many of the most attractive investment opportunities today can only be found in the private markets, an important segment of which is the venture and growth space. By capitalizing on disruptive innovations in established and emerging market segments, the HLGVG portfolio aims to offer an edge in adaptation to new technological advancements, like AI as it drives a wave of growth in tech businesses.”
