German Venture Firm HV Capital Adds Two Partners Amid UK Push

HV Capital, a German venture capital firm that has backed some of the country’s most successful consumer technology startups, is adding two partners and opening its first office in the UK.

The firm is poaching from two rivals, hiring Lina Chong from Target Global and Mina Mutafchieva, an investor at Dawn Capital, who will open a London office, HV Capital said. They are the first two female partners in the firm’s twenty-five year history.
