Hellman & Friedman (H&F) is an American private equity firm founded in 1984 by Warren Hellman and Tully Friedman that makes investments primarily through leveraged buyouts as well as growth capital investments. It has focused its efforts on several core target industries including media, financial services, professional services and information services.
Headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York and London, H&F tends to avoid asset intensive or other industrial businesses (e.g., manufacturing, chemicals, transportation).
