The HFW Companies

The HFW Companies, with the slogan "Reshaping collaborative infrastructure design," aims to disrupt the Architecture and Engineering (A-E) industry through a unique investment model that deviates from conventional mergers and acquisitions. The founders seek to sustain legacies by eschewing the typical approach that often results in professional downsizing, organizational disruption, and cultural integration struggles. Their vision is to create a professional services company that invests in the success of strategic growth partners and their legacy brands, leveraging collaboration and mutual support.

Central to HFW’s investment approach is its “House of Brands” philosophy, which emphasizes the strength of regional legacy brands within the HFW Partner Network and their ability to collaborate on a national scale. The company's founders, Michael Hein (CEO), Matthew Westphal (COO), and Daniel Forguson (CFO), are A-E industry veterans with extensive leadership experience and a successful track record in industry investment.

Founded in 2020, The HFW Companies operate in the Finance and Financial Services industries. As they continue to reshape collaborative infrastructure design, the industry will be keenly watching their progress and the impact of their innovative investment model.
