Private market investing isn’t just for the elite anymore. It’s changing, becoming more accessible, and reaching a broader, more diverse audience. As someone who spent nearly a decade at Crowdcube, I watched this shift unfold firsthand, seeing the power of community-driven investment and its impact on early-stage brands. I’m a firm believer that a resilient investor community isn’t just nice to have; it’s a foundation for long-term success. Just ask my pal Jonny Quirk and his awesome business Community Rocket.

In the early days of Crowdcube, we partnered with some incredible brands like Monzo, Moneybox, and Chip. Community wasn’t just a part of their strategy—it was the backbone of their growth. Just look at Chip: over six years, they raised ￡57 million from more than 65,000 investors without a penny of institutional capital. Every round got bigger, every campaign easier, and today, they’re thriving, backed by a loyal group of super-users. As expertly reported by Seb Johnson ?? , Chip’s journey shows the power of a strong, engaged community. (Seb’s report on Chip’s growth)

That resilience—the ability to rally thousands of believers around a brand—is precisely what we aim to replicate with Haatch. We’re committed to broadening access to our SEIS fund, offering high-potential B2B SaaS opportunities to retail investors across the UK. This isn’t just about funding startups; it’s about building a robust, diverse community that will help us grow the Haatch brand, support our portfolio, and open doors to even more opportunities.

Through our partnership with Crowdcube, we’re lowering the entry point for our SEIS fund to ￡2,000—a shift from the typical ￡10,000 minimum. This is about making venture capital more inclusive, allowing more people to participate in supporting the next wave of innovation in a diversified format—managed by experts—all with the benefit of 50% SEIS tax relief.

Why Haatch, and why now?

Our oldest SEIS fund may only be three years old, but we’ve already deployed over ￡50 million across our SEIS and EIS funds—matching the scale of managers who’ve been in the game for over a decade. We’re a team of ex-entrepreneurs and operators who bring a tech-enabled, data-driven approach to everything we do.

Our philosophy is built on rigour, speed, and a relentless pursuit of the best opportunities in the market. Data suggests that this new wave of emerging managers, equipped with fresh perspectives and agile strategies, will lead the way in shaping the future of venture capital.

Our vision is to grow from ￡50m from 1,000 investors to ￡250m and 10,000 investors over the next three years.

Cool, how do I get involved?

Our Crowdcube pitch offering access to our current SEIS fund is 24 hours in, ￡275k raised from 80 investors. We are offering a limited allocation to retail via this route as part of a circa ￡3m fund to be deployed in 24/25 tax year.

Although we plan to open retail access to our funds on an ongoing basis, this fund is only open for another 13 days, at which point the minimum direct subscription of ￡10,000 will be back in place.

If you share our belief in the potential of community-driven growth and you’re looking for a smarter, more accessible way to invest in the future of B2B SaaS, we’d love to welcome you to Haatch.

Until next time!
