Haatch Delivers Third Profitable Fund Exit in Three Months: CareLineLive
We’re pleased to announce the exit of CareLineLive from the Haatch portfolio, marking our third exit in just three months. It is a strong testament to the strength of the Haatch portfolio and our commitment to delivering investor returns.
Delivering three exits in three months isn’t luck. It reflects our commitment to backing visionary founders and validates the investment strategy we’ve built at Haatch.
CareLineLive, a leading all-in-one home care management platform, has secured a majority investment by Accel-KKR, a top-tier global technology investment firm. The transaction provides significant follow-on funding from Accel-KKR to support the next stage of CareLineLive’s growth, with a focus on innovation, geographic expansion, and customer success.
Haatch was proud to support CareLineLive through its growth journey, from product development and commercial traction to international expansion. This transaction is a strong validation of the team’s impact in transforming home care services across the UK and beyond.
Our focus remains clear - delivering exceptional returns through high-quality early-stage investments. This latest exit is another step in that journey. Here’s to more wins ahead!
