Who We Are

Haatch is an award-winning pre-seed and seed investor focused on B2B SaaS businesses solving deep pains in the present and/or creating massive impact for organisations. 

We’ve been building successful businesses for two decades with multiple successful exits from the founding team. Haatch was started in 2013 by Scott Weavers-Wright OBE and Fred Soneya, as non-traditional VCs from non-banking or consulting backgrounds. We saw an opportunity to build a dynamic fund, for Founders, by Founders. True to our culture, we hire people to be entrepreneurs within Haatch and give them the opportunity to try new things and be independent. 

Haatch now has a portfolio of over 70 companies, which are valued at over £800 million between them. We are a lean but fast-growing company with big ambitions. We are looking for someone to join our investor relations team and be an instrumental part of our growth journey to becoming one of Europe’s most successful VC funds.

Role and Responsibilities

About You

This role is best suited to an entrepreneurial candidate who is comfortable working with limited assistance, is looking to become instrumental in growing the future of the Haatch funds and can take ownership of their sales responsibilities. We are interested in hiring smart, adaptable, hard-working people, not just qualifications or experience levels. There’s an expectation you have an existing black book of prospective accounts.

  • Excellent sales, negotiation, presentation and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work autonomously and to work within a team environment to build strong relationships both internally and externally
  • Prior experience with HNWIs and IFAs/Family Offices
  • Own network of HNWI, Family Offices or IFAs would be a huge bonus

  • Significant previous experience in a Venture Capital or Private Equity related role is advantageous
  • Strong understanding of tax-efficient investments, including EIS and SEIS schemes
