Hark Ventures
An advisory firm for infrastructure, energy and growing companies.
Hark Ventures, formerly Hark Capital Group, is based in Maryland. We advise on site selection, capital planning, public programs and strategic transactions.
From first site visit to closing
Our work covers site origination, technical due diligence, capital planning, public programs and M&A strategy. Clients often bring us in before a project has a site or a capital plan and keep us involved as it moves into development.
We also handle the practical side: project management, coordinating outside parties and marketing support, so the plan keeps moving after the strategy is agreed.
How we work
Three habits that shape every engagement.
Diligence first
We test the site, the power, the permits and the capital plan before a client commits money. Most problems are cheaper to find early.
Ready for scrutiny
We prepare clients for the questions lenders, partners and agencies will ask, with the analysis and materials to answer them.
Follow-through
A recommendation is not the end of the job. We stay involved through development, working alongside the client’s legal and financial advisors.
How an engagement runs
Every engagement follows the same four steps, with agreed goals and regular updates.
First call
We talk through what you are trying to do, your timeline and what a good result looks like.
Engagement
A written agreement that sets out scope, targets and who does what.
Execution
Research, site work, diligence and planning, reported to you on a set schedule.
Next stage
We hand over a clear plan and stay on to support the next phase of the project.
