Our story
HBF began in Noida in August 2018 with one belief: businesses need more than introductions. They need people who help them build.
Over the years HBF ran founder communities, business events and professional services for founders and business owners across India. What we saw again and again was the same gap. Founders and MSMEs could find advice and contacts, but not the execution: the tech, the compliance, the brand, the sales, done properly and on time.
So HBF became a venture studio. Today it builds companies with a mix of capital and execution, and runs the whole ecosystem on one governed platform: HBF Venture.

HBF Venture platform
The full ecosystem moves onto one governed platform for every participant.
The venture studio model
Three parts that work as one ecosystem.
The studio builds a portfolio
HBF backs ventures with a mix of capital and execution under individual agreements. Portfolio companies also serve each other.
Investors back the portfolio
Approved members can co-invest in studio companies through private, membership-based rounds.
Partners power the ecosystem
Partner companies offer services, credits or service exchanges, so ventures build faster for less.
The companies behind the execution
Professional work is delivered by HBF's own companies alongside vetted outside providers.
