Bare Hill brings a rare global perspective to the work we believe matters most. Rooted in decades of on-the-ground expertise across hospitality, real estate and wellness, we offer access to bespoke capital and advisory services to partners where values align and the work feels genuinely meaningful.
We invest our own capital alongside partners — with full conviction and long-term commitment.
When invited, we bring wellness, hospitality, real estate and technology expertise to every engagement.
Stewardship and genuine relationship over extraction — a new capitalism built on giving back.
Who we are
Bare Hill is a family-led investment and advisory platform rooted in decades of international expertise across hospitality, real estate and wellness. We invest our own capital and bring genuine, hands-on involvement to every partnership — as engaged as the work requires, in an advisory capacity and/or a board role. We work best with founders and operators who want a real thought partner, not a passive investor.
This is our expression of a new capitalism: one that values regeneration, relationships and long-term stewardship over extraction or externally-driven goals. We trust that by being our authentic selves, the right people and projects find us.
A commitment
We actively seek to advise on and invest in ventures that serve a genuinely transformational purpose — addressing real needs and contributing to a more equitable world. If you are building something at the intersection of purpose and returns, we would love to hear from you.

Steve Haggerty
Founder & Principal
Steve brings over three decades of international experience and expertise across hospitality, real estate, and institutional capital markets. From leading global development and capital strategy at one of the world's largest hotel companies, to building investment platforms and serving on numerous public and private boards, Steve now channels that depth into a more intentional, relationship-first model at Bare Hill.
Elleke Haggerty
Principal
Elleke's early career spanned international hospitality, wellness and consulting across Asia and Europe. She founded Ellespa, voted Hong Kong's favourite day spa in its first year of operation, before choosing to step back and focus on raising four children. Parenting, in her view, is not a pause from a meaningful life — it is one of the most meaningful things a person can do. During those years she remained deeply engaged, both in leadership roles in her community and as an advocate for financial literacy, particularly among women and underserved cohorts. She brings that same intentionality to Bare Hill, where her expertise in financial planning sits within a broader belief: that financial wellbeing is a critical component of holistic wellness — not separate from how we live, but central to it.
We seek work that restores — people, places, and ecosystems — rather than extracts from them.
We work with partners who share our values. The right fit matters as much as the economics.
Long-term thinking over short-term returns. We hold what we own with care and intention.
We trust that by being ourselves fully, the right people and projects find their way to us.
Our portfolio
We invest our own capital and advisory expertise across hospitality, wellness, real estate and technology — always alongside partners who share our values and our vision for what business can be.

Code 3: Life. Reinvented.
Episode 10 · December 2025 · 48 min
A candid conversation about what a global career at the highest levels of hospitality real estate couldn't provide — and what it took to find out. Steve talks openly about the misalignment between his outer success and personal wellbeing — one that led to both inner conflict and complacency at work — and how a rare medical condition gave him the cover to stop. That pause led to a more honest and holistic way of living and working.
