About the fund management company

Our History

Our legal predecessor, the Regional Venture Capital Management that was established in 1999, which later became the Corvinus Venture Capital Management Zrt., started and managed several venture capital funds right from the beginning in order to offer capital financing for businesses with a high growth potential in the innovative, starting and early growth phase.

Establishing the Hiventures Venture Capital Fund Management

Hiventures was established when the previous business model was reformed, and it has played a unique role in the Hungarian capital funding segment since February 2017. As a state-owned capital investor, its aims to help Hungary to reach the international innovation and start-up market as dynamically as possible. From 2019, Hiventures has expanded its financing programmes to small and medium size enterprises first, and later on to large companies as well.

Hiventures, a member of the MFB Group, has become one of the biggest and most active capital fund managers of Central and Eastern Europe. We support the entire Hungarian entrepreneurial ecosystem with our own and EU resources, thus providing resources from the idea phase to large-scale investments.
