Haatch Announces Fourth Profitable Exit of 2025
We are pleased to share that Haatch has successfully exited our position in Tangible Markets, marking our fourth profitable exit of 2025. This follows previous exits this year from Re-Flow (6.55x), Native (7.4x) and CareLineLive.
This transaction was completed via a secondary sale, as part of a wider strategic investment agreement with a new backer. The exit delivered a 42.59% IRR for our investors.
A Milestone Moment
This marks an important milestone for Haatch. It is our second SEIS exit this year and our first exit for the British Business Bank (BBB). The BBB has been co-investing with us since 2021, supporting every deal we do. We are proud to already be delivering realised returns for such a highly valued partner and look forward to building further on this relationship.
The Bigger Picture
2025 has already been a remarkable year for Haatch with four profitable exits across our SEIS, EIS, and BBB strategies. We are not aware of another fund in our category delivering this level of performance.
With multiple funds now showing realised returns and a growing number of portfolio companies scaling at pace, we are excited by what the rest of 2025 will bring, and beyond!

Of course, I was looking forward to value amplification and the tax basis was also highly attractive. However, I also had a strong sense of wanting to ‘plug in’ to a modern, cutting-edge area of technology.
Headcount Is Dead as a Growth Metric. Here's What Our Portfolio Data Says Replaced It.
For two decades, venture capital used a crude proxy for progress: how many people have you hired? Team size signalled ambition, traction, momentum. If a seed-stage company doubled headcount, it was "scaling."Our portfolio data now tells us that era is over.Across roughly 200 early-stage B2B software companies we track, median revenue growth over the past two years ran at around 50% annualized. Median headcount growth over the same period? Zero.
