Haatch Ventures Finalist at the Growth Investor Awards 2022


We are delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted as finalists in two categories for Best EIS Investment Manager - Specialist and Best SEIS Investment Manager at the upcoming Growth Investor Awards 2022, hosted by Intelligent Partnership.
Now in their eighth year, the Growth Investor Awards are a key event in the investment industry calendar. The awards celebrate the companies and individuals who go above and beyond to support the UK's growing businesses, and in doing so create jobs, boost economic growth, and support innovation.
Commenting on the Growth Investor Awards, Guy Tolhurst, Managing Director of Intelligent Partnership, said: "We're always so impressed by the vital work our finalists do to support the fastest-growing UK SMEs and startups. Our categories are always competitive, but this year has exceeded all expectation. Haatch Ventures deserves huge congratulations for making it into the final of Best EIS Investment Manager - Specialist and Best SEIS Investment Manager because I know how stiff the competition was."
Award submissions will now move to a second round of judging from an independent panel of judges. The awards will be celebrated with a gala dinner at London Hilton Park Lane on November 24th.

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.
