Haatch Delivers Fifth Profitable Exit of 2025

QIS Risk Acquired by CoinRoutes
We’re delighted to announce another profitable exit from the Haatch portfolio. QIS Risk has been acquired by CoinRoutes, marking our fifth positive exit of 2025 and our third from SEIS-backed businesses this year.
This transaction represents yet another example of the Haatch model at work: backing founders early, helping them scale capital-efficiently, and delivering tangible, realised outcomes for our investors.
QIS Risk/CoinRoutes
QIS Risk provides institutional-grade portfolio and risk analytics for digital assets, helping asset managers and funds monitor exposure, P&L and performance across exchanges in real time.
Now, as part of CoinRoutes, a leading digital-asset trading platform, QIS Risk’s technology will enhance CoinRoutes’ institutional suite, combining execution, analytics and portfolio management under one roof.
Ian Weisberger, Co-founder and CEO of CoinRoutes said: “QIS Risk has built a best-in-class risk analytics platform that institutional investors depend on for critical decision-making. This acquisition allows us to amplify everything that made QIS Risk valuable while integrating it with our execution technology to deliver a complete solution. CoinRoutes’ smart order routing combined with QIS Risk’s analytics creates an unmatched offering for institutional investors.”
Why This Exit Matters
This exit reinforces several key themes at the heart of Haatch’s strategy and track record:
1. Consistent Realisations
2025 has already seen five positive exits across our SEIS and EIS portfolios, converting paper gains into realised returns for our investors. Importantly, three of those exits originated from SEIS investments, the earliest, highest-risk stage of our funding model, demonstrating the power of our hands-on support and disciplined approach to scaling early-stage businesses.
2. Validation of Our Model
Our strategy is deliberately focused on B2B software and tech-enabled businesses that are capital-efficient, revenue-driven and operationally disciplined. Each of our exits this year , including QIS Risk, shows how that thesis compounds value: from pre-seed to profit to acquisition, without dependency on excessive capital or hype cycles.
3. Liquidity for Investors
In a market where realisations remain rare, the ability to deliver liquidity matters. Every profitable exit enhances overall fund performance, supports reinvestment into the next generation of founders, and validates Haatch’s approach of being a “capital recycler”, continuously turning early-stage conviction into measurable outcomes.
4. Momentum Across the Portfolio
Alongside a strong pipeline of upcoming follow-on rounds and growth-stage opportunities, these exits demonstrate a healthy balance across the Haatch portfolio, a mix of early-stage growth and maturing businesses reaching realisation. It also underlines the strength of our partnership network, with strategic acquirers recognising the quality of the teams and technologies we back.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to deploy into new SEIS and EIS funds, our focus remains clear:
- Backing the next wave of exceptional founders solving real problems in large markets;
- Supporting them actively through operational expertise, networks and data-driven growth;
- Delivering consistent outcomes that turn early conviction into real returns.
Five exits in one year, three from SEIS, is more than a milestone. It’s proof that disciplined early-stage investing works.

‘Capital Growth’ Has Many Meanings. So does ‘Performance’!
Why do we invest? The glib answer is ‘to make money’. For most investors however, I suspect the reasons are much more nuanced.
When I first committed funds to a Haatch portfolio company, the reasons for doing so were multiple. 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.
