Value Front
There looks to be a great team at Haatch, ready to help, and the process for receiving capital has been relatively straight forward. However, the length of time taken to receive capital and higher that expected legal fees impact the benefit an SEIS investment makes. The delayed EIS investment has also impacted our ability to plan and grow.

Perfect for New Founders
Haatch have been a fantastic first institutional investor/VC to bring onboard. The DD process was straightforward, the deal was easy to agree and the close was simple. All of the team are very friendly and approachable.

Speedy, Well Located and Diverse
Very positive experience. Had 3 offers and was impressed with quickly Haatch were in the process and also I was comforted with the number of other successful Irish investments were in the portfolio so the geography would not be an issue. Jeremy was great. Super transparent and easy to deal with.

Everywhere
As a first-time founder, I've found Haatch brilliant to deal with. They're incredibly supportive at every avenue, and have exceeded expectations. Term sheet wasn't the most founder friendly, but overall they very much are. Would highly recommend.

All Over It
We have had a fantastic experience with Haatch since our first call with them. As experienced startup founders themselves, they "get it" and add a lot of value beyond "just" money.

They are entrepreneurs rather than financial engineers, they really get business and know how to focus on the important stuff.

Fred has Been More Than Frank
Very friendly team and, as first-time founders, easily approachable with questions during the round. Overall, very happy to have Haatch as our investors and we look forward to working with them over the coming years as we grow together! Shout out to Fred for putting a lot of his time and effort into the entire process from start to finish ?

Ez Dealings
I first spoke to Simon when I was raising pre-seed, the timing was off but we stayed in touch. when we started raising seed, they were the first VC we turned too. They were transparent about the fact their next fund was a few months off, but it all worked out great in the end. We've just signed but so far they've been hugely supportive of us.

Making up for strict terms
Haatch have been a great founder-friendly invesment partner and have supported us for the last year since investing. Whilst the terms are not overly founder friendly, in practice they have been pragmatic and really helpful. They have made introductions, been keen to input into our product and have helped support our growth.

Can't put a price on VA
For us the value add component of what Haatch bring to the table in addition to the funds they invested has been invaluable. A talented and experienced team of investors that have been on-hand to help and advise whenever the need has arisen.

They Come on Strong when You're Offering What They're Looking for
Really great experience. Got our vision straight away, were very clear in declaring their interest. Love the no nonsense approach and the speed at which they moved once they were interested. Have felt a great deal of support in terms of helping problem solve, strategise and plan. Great to have access to such an experienced team at such an early stage in our journey. The cash was great but we defo value the team and their input a lot more than the funds. Hoping we can be a great Haatch success story and repay their belief in us with a good return on their investment. LOVE VuePay

Accomplished
Haatch are an incredibly unique early stage investment fund, in only a very small percentage of VC's have actually ever built a business from scratch, and they have. They are founders at heart and are well equipped to deal with and help navigate the early/seed stage of a business. Highly engaged, responsive, well connected and never afraid to be the first cheque to commit.
