Hopewell Ventures

Hopewell Ventures was a venture capital and private equity firm based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 2001. The firm specialized in providing equity capital and strategic expertise to high-growth businesses, primarily in the Midwest. With over 80 years of combined experience among its principals, Hopewell focused on growth-oriented ventures across various stages of development and a wide range of industries, including technology, life sciences, manufacturing, and consumer products. The firm aimed to help portfolio companies maximize their opportunities, leveraging its extensive networks throughout the Midwest. Despite its regional focus, which mirrored the investment strategy of its predecessor, Adena Ventures, Hopewell Ventures ultimately went out of business.
