Case Study: Hg accelerates software development and saves thousands of hours with Replit

Hg Empowers Portfolio Companies with Replit to Save Thousands of Hours Each Year

Hg, a leading investor in software and services businesses, sought to democratize software development and accelerate digital transformation across its portfolio of over 50 companies. The challenge was to overcome barriers like lengthy development cycles, high costs, and the gap between technical and non-technical teams. To address this, they turned to the vendor Replit and its AI-driven software creation platform.

By implementing Replit, Hg enabled its portfolio companies to build applications with unprecedented speed, as demonstrated in a hackathon where participants created functional tools in under an hour. The solution resulted in massive time savings, with tools built in 45 minutes saving teams over 48 hours per week. Replit also drastically reduced development costs and accelerated prototyping, cutting down projects that previously took months to just days or weeks.
