Built for the next generation of venture.
Hartman Venture Advisors was founded to support founders, funds, and brokers who move fast, think big, and expect their counsel to keep up. After years in Big Law, we saw how traditional firms slow deals down — so we built something different: boutique, business-minded legal support that’s sharp, practical, and ready for the pace of modern venture.
Hartman Venture Advisors was built for the next generation of investors and founders — the ones who move fast, think big, and need counsel that can keep up. After years slaving away at a big law firm, our founder, Mordechai Hartman, saw firsthand how traditional legal models often miss the mark — too slow, too cautious, too disconnected from the business reality. He set out to build something different: a firm that pairs elite legal training with practical, founder-friendly execution.
Since then, we’ve advised funds at formation, backed founders from first raise to exit, and structured complex transactions with clarity and speed. We don’t just paper deals — we help you think them through, challenge assumptions, and close smart.
At HVA PLLC, our approach is simple: Understand the business. Deliver with precision. Be the team you’d want on your side.
