About HFL
We’re the Channel Islands’ only dedicated VC specialists, supporting funds, founders and entrepreneurs since 2004. In August 2025, HFL was acquired by Opera Group Limited, a privately held group of funds, corporate and fiduciary businesses. This marks a new chapter in our journey, one that builds on our legacy of service and enhances our ability to deliver through greater scale, resources and reach. For more information on Opera, visit www.operalimited.com We don’t just understand venture. We’re organised around it. Every service, system and hire is shaped to meet the pace and priorities of our clients. One team, full lifecycle. ● Fund formation and structuring. Set up for success from day one. Clear, confident, and compliant. ● Ongoing fund operations and investor servicing. Seamless execution across the full lifecycle. ● Founder’s Office: Strategic guidance for founders navigating wealth, legacy, and complexity. ● Private client and entrepreneurial wealth. Support for founders who don’t fit the traditional private wealth model. ● Advisory and operational concierge. Answers, clarity, and calm when it matters most. We hire people we trust and give them the autonomy and tools to thrive. As a proud B Corp, we’re committed to building a workplace where people feel seen, supported, and motivated to do their best work, not just for clients, but for each other and the community.
