Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Impact

2024 was an incredible year for Haatch! Here’s a quick look at the highlights:

• Remarkable Metrics - We launched our first annual investor survey, and the feedback has been invaluable. With stellar NPS and CSAT ratings, we’re grateful for investors' trust. 
• Team Growth - Our team grew to 19, and we invested significantly in fundraising and investor relations to deliver a market-leading experience.
• Portfolio Highlights - We’ve reached 108 portfolio companies with over 1,400 investors. Three personal highlights include: Native - reaching £10m ARR, Volume - $6m raised, Popp - grew at 33x ARR growth. All these companies were backed at pre-seed and pre-revenue!
• British Business Investments - Our partnership with British Business Investments continued strong, ensuring co-investment benefits for all.

Looking Ahead to 2025: A Year of Opportunity

2025 is set to be our biggest year yet. Some key themes are:

• Liquidity - The entire team is focused on delivering exits this year. We have to remind ourselves that our portfolio is still young, with 90% of pre-seed companies having been invested for less than 3 years and the majority of our seed stage businesses being under 4 years. 
• Advisors - In early February, we will welcome a new face to lead our advisor relationships as we officially launch Haatch in the advisor market. If you’re an IFA, get in touch!
• Institutional Capital - More to say about this soon, but a continued focus on our institutional funds is a key priority to directly support our SEIS and EIS funds and provide longer-term capital to support these companies through their growth phases.
• EIS Focus - We’re tripling down and plan to raise more EIS money than ver before, the investment market at Seed is hot, and now is the time to capitalise. 

Thank you to all who have been integral to the Haatch journey. We couldn’t achieve what we do without your trust and collaboration. Here’s to a prosperous and impactful 2025 together!
