Andrew Hillman, in full.

Andrew Jonathan Hillman is a biotech entrepreneur, healthcare investor, and strategic advisor based in Dallas, Texas. He is the principal of Hillman Ventures, a private family office founded in 1995, and his career spans three decades of building, operating, and exiting companies across FDA-regulated healthcare.

A Dallas family legacy of building

The drive to build is inherited. By Andrew Hillman's account, his grandfather was Henry B. Levine. Henry Levine founded Midway Auto Supply in Dallas in 1960, and the Levine family has run the auto parts business across multiple generations, as recorded in trade press coverage of the company's fiftieth anniversary.^[1][2] It is a business grown on service, relationships, and steady execution. Three generations on, Andrew Hillman leads Hillman Ventures from the same city, continuing a Dallas family legacy of building durable companies guided by a simple standard: efficiency, innovation, integrity.

That legacy began at home, and early. Andrew Hillman was born and raised in the Oak Cliff and South Dallas neighborhoods, where he grew up working in the family businesses from the age of six. The work spanned Midway Auto Supply and Hampton Distributing, the family's self-service car washes and laundromats, and maintenance and yard work for Levine Realty on rental homes and apartments across Oak Cliff. He attended four high schools and finished at Highland Park High School in Dallas, class of 1995. The arc from a working Oak Cliff childhood to a three-decade record in regulated healthcare is self-made, and it still sets the standard he holds.

Four pillars of impact

Andrew Hillman's career rests on four connected pillars, each built on the operating discipline of the last.

An operator first

Before he was an investor, Andrew Hillman was an operator. He co-founded and led companies across surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinical laboratories, pharmacy, and medical devices, with a documented record of more than 89 ventures and more than 85 strategic exits. That operating experience, in regulated, capital-intensive, and clinically demanding businesses, is the foundation for everything that followed.

From building companies to backing them

Today his focus is forward-looking. Through Hillman Ventures, he invests in frontier biotech and regenerative medicine for inflammation, damaged tissue, and tumor-based cancers, applying the capital discipline and regulatory judgment earned over three decades. He approaches investment the way an operator does, with attention to the science, the manufacturing, and the path to patients, not the pitch alone. His perspective on these questions is collected in his featured insights and on the venture platform. His investor role is set out in full on Andrew Hillman, Principal of Hillman Ventures.

Advisory and expertise

Andrew Hillman also advises founders, investors, and operators on FDA regulatory strategy, commercialization, and healthcare venture development through his advisory practice. He is the author of white papers spanning regenerative medicine, the FDA Section 351(a) biologics pathway, and oncology, including work on Targeted Osmotic Lysis (TOL 2.0).

Targeted Osmotic Lysis is investigational. It has not been approved by the FDA for any indication and it is not available as a treatment.

Giving and community

His philanthropy centers on education and community. It includes the Andrew Hillman Family Room at the Lamplighter School in Dallas, the Andrew Hillman Scholarship for Entrepreneurs, and the Andrew Hillman Grant for Biotech, alongside support for community and charitable organizations. His giving through Chabad and the Aleph Institute is an expression of his Jewish faith and his commitment to community. The full account is maintained at his community and giving site.

Family and personal life

Away from the work, Andrew Hillman is a Dallas father of two and a devoted family man. He keeps a disciplined routine, the gym, long walks on the Katy Trail in Dallas, and road and pedal cycling, and he lives a drug-free and alcohol-free lifestyle. A proud American, he carries the same standard that runs through his companies, efficiency, innovation, integrity, into how he lives.
