Edit Request
As a connected editor, I'd like to request that an unconnected editor make the following edit requests. Some of them use the same sources so I'll use reference naming conventions. The ref tags have to be changed when the sources are reused.

HGGC's fourth fund (Fund IV) closed in June 2022 at $2.54 billion, after being targeted at $2.25 billion.
 * 1) Revise infobox - The key people have changed, per this source: The key people field should be as follows: | key_people    = Rich Lawson, Steve Young, Harv Barenz, Les Brown, David Chung, Bill Conrad, Steve Leistner, Lance Taylor, and Neil White
 * 2) Revise lead - The capital commitment and aggregate transaction value numbers have changed, and the current sourcing is poor (press release). I'm including a better source, and changing the numbers based on the source.  Also, the personnel info should be updated to match the key people info in the infobox. First two sentences: HGGC is an American middle-market private equity firm based in Palo Alto, California, with over $7 billion of cumulative capital commitments. Since its inception in 2007, HGGC has completed platform investments, add-on acquisitions, recapitalizations and liquidity events with aggregate transaction value of $50 billion. Fourth sentence: HGGC is led by private equity executive Rich Lawson, who serves as CEO, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback  Steve Young, Harv Barenz, Les Brown, David Chung, Bill Conrad, Steve Leistner, Lance Taylor and Neil White.
 * 3) Add fourth fund.  We have a fourth fund to add: ===Fund IV ($2.54 billion)===
 * 1) Update company investment activity since August 2021: In August 2021, it was reported that the company had a significant minority stake in the hair extension product company Beauty Industry Group (BIG). In November 2021, it was reported that HGGC had purchased a majority stake in Grand Fitness Partners, a franchisee with 42 Planet Fitness clubs. Also in November 2021, it was reported that HGGC and investment firm Snapdragon Capital Partners invested $240 million in online supplement dispensary firm Fullscript. As of July 2022, the company's portfolio also included automotive industry data-mining company AutoAlert, vitamin and supplement business Better Being, and property-management software firm Entrata.
