Harbert Venture Partners provides growth capital to early stage information technology and healthcare companies primarily across the Southeastern U.S.

We seek to capitalize on what we believe are compelling regional dynamics, such as a strong and fast-growing economy, significant research and development activities, an established entrepreneurial community and a relative lack of residential institutional venture capital, that make the Southeastern US more attractive than other traditional United States venture capital markets. Our office in Richmond, Virginia and our additional team members in Birmingham, Alabama are well positioned to help us identify attractive opportunities.
