Building the Future. Backing Bold Ideas.
About
Andy Hamer is a German-American investor, business leader, futurist, and venture advisor. A long-term investor, he is focused on backing undervalued, high-growth opportunities that will define the global economy in the decades ahead. Andy’s investment philosophy is rooted in a deep understanding of market shifts and structural transformations. He has built a reputation for recognizing patterns early, often investing in ideas that were controversial at the time but later proved to be industry-defining. His approach is heavily influenced by contrarian thinking and a belief that the greatest returns come from companies shaping the future rather than following the present.
The Future of Investing
The Future of Investing is Andy’s biweekly newsletter where he explores long-term investing trends, new technologies, market insights, and the ideas shaping tomorrow’s world.
He writes with a fund manager’s lens — but keeps it conversational and clear, with the goal of helping readers think independently about the future of markets, innovation, and value creation. Join him on this journey into the future of investing.
Active, Long-Term Investing.
Andy believes that the stock market is one of the greatest engines of wealth creation ever invented - a direct way to participate in human progress and the power of capitalism at work. As a managing partner at Hudson Square Investment Management, he invests primarily in public equities, where he has built deep expertise over the past decade.
He looks for visionary companies riding long-term tailwinds - businesses with durable growth, strong leadership, and the potential to multiply over decades. His style is patient, bold, and independent, with a focus on owning great businesses early and holding them through the noise.
While his core focus remains the public markets, Andy also backs early-stage private companies where he sees long-term potential and a compelling founder vision. Across both public and private markets, his mindset is the same: long-term optimism grounded in deep research and disciplined execution.
Strategic Insight for Startups
Andy is an investor first - but over time, he’s found himself getting more deeply involved with the companies he believes in. If you’re building something bold and want a thought partner who understands both sides of the table and adds financial clarity and hands on experience in refining and scaling the business model, we’d love to hear from you.
Giving Back
Beyond investing, Andy cares deeply about causes that align with his values, especially protecting wildlife and expanding opportunities for women. He supports conservation efforts focused on wildlife and habitat protection in Africa. He also believes education is one of the most powerful tools for change - particularly when it helps open doors for girls and women in underserved regions. Over the years, Andy has contributed to scholarships and grassroots initiatives that reflect these priorities, and he remains committed to using his resources to support a more compassionate, equitable world.
