Venture Investing
From structuring to signing, we partner with funds, founders, and broker-dealers to guide high-stakes venture transactions with clarity and speed. Our work spans late-stage financings, SAFE agreements, and cap table strategy — built on deep experience and a business-first mindset.
We don’t just paper deals. We help you think them through, challenge assumptions, and close smart. With sharp insight, practical guidance, and a direct line to our team, we stay in the trenches with you until the job is done — and long after the deal is signed.
fund
formation
Hartman Venture Advisors serves as outside general counsel to mid- and late-stage venture capital funds with $20–$200 million in assets under management. We help new and emerging managers launch with confidence — offering strategic guidance on fund structure, LP negotiations, and key governance terms.
Our boutique, flexible approach means you’ll get high-level legal support without the red tape, delays, or disconnect common in larger firms. Whether you’re raising your first fund or forming a new vehicle for a specific strategy, we bring the precision and responsiveness you need to move forward fast.
secondaries
Founder liquidity and late-stage equity sales require more than legal boilerplate — they demand strategy, discretion, and experience. We advise founders, employees, and broker-dealers on secondary transactions that align with long-term growth and protect leverage.
Whether you're navigating employee option sales or structuring a complex, multi-party secondary, we make sure your interests stay intact. Our approach is hands-on, emotionally intelligent, and built for the realities of modern venture — no surprises, no dragged-out timelines, just clean execution where it counts.
