Haatch Ventures is pleased to announce the promotion of Jeremy Luzinda to Principal.

Jeremy joined Haatch in March 2021 as an Investment Associate and is responsible for leading deals from discovery, through due diligence, to writing cheques and offering post-investment support for portfolio companies. Prior to Haatch, Jeremy sat on the investment team at Playfair Capital, an early stage VC fund that has backed companies like Stripe, Thought Machine and Omnipresent. Jeremy also leans on his previous executive positions in fast-growing VC-backed start-ups to support our portfolio and triage compelling opportunities. 

Jeremy sits as an active board observer on a number of Haatch’s portfolio companies including Primis, Denturly, Slip, Diode and Virtual Science

Fred Soneya, Co-founder and Partner says “Jeremy’s well-deserved promotion to Principal is the culmination of his commitment to supporting the Haatch portfolio companies. We recognise the great value that he brings to Haatch in sourcing, leading deals, his thought leadership and strategic post-investment support. He is highly regarded by our portfolio companies and is consistently going above and beyond to support them. ”

Congratulations Jeremy!

You've seen the headlines. $300 billion wiped from software stocks in a single session. Salesforce down 27% year-to-date. Atlassian off 35% in a week. The SaaSpocalypse has dominated every feed for the past six weeks. Like most narratives that move this fast, it's partly right, partly overblown, and mostly missing the point.

When we first backed AIApply in March 2024 through our SEIS fund, we were backing more than just a company; we were backing a thesis and a team. The job search experience is fundamentally broken. Candidates face a fragmented, opaque process that often feels stacked against them. We believed AI could transform this experience, putting the power back in job seekers' hands.
