High Roller Group
High Roller Group (HRG) is a venture capital and operational shared services holding company that funds, develops, and manages investments across multiple industry segments. HRG targets control investments in under-served markets by providing early stage capital investments (often startup capital) to grow businesses in end markets targeted by private equity firms, which generally avoid startup and commercialization risk. HRG is typically an active partner in its portfolio companies providing backoffice support and operational expertise. By providing our businesses with continued capital and operational support, each portfolio company has an advantage to scale more aggressively by focusing more time on their core mission. High Roller Group was officially formed in 2018, but leverages a name and track record of starting and operating dozens of businesses since 2007. Throughout its early history, HRG and its predecessors focused heavily on the energy services sector, but over the last several years have actively developed a portfolio of business interests broadly across both traditional and renewable energy, mining, infrastructure, lumber, and both industrial and commodity supply and services.
