Strategic Advisor & Investor

Enno Hochhuth

Entrepreneurial fintech leader with over two decades of hands-on experience building, scaling, and monetizing capital markets platforms. I specialize in architecting high-impact trading ventures and aligning institutional investors with proprietary strategies and real-asset opportunities. As founder and CEO of HFC GmbH, I translate market inefficiencies into investable structures.

With a background spanning trading, structured advisory, and resource finance, I thrive at the frontier—bridging entrepreneurial agility with institutional execution. My career is defined by venture incubation, capital formation, and scaling solutions at the intersection of innovation and capital deployment.
