The Hatch Firm
Overschiestraat 182, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, 1062 XK, The Netherlands
Overview
They are an Amsterdam based entrepreneurial investment company focussed on early stage ventures that are active in the online / mobile sector. Technologies like enterprise mobility, eHealth, edTech, IoT, big data and innovative cloud based solutions all have their interest. They wish to invest their money, time, expertise and network in passionate and savvy entrepreneurs with a unique product or service that is scalable and has a recurring revenue model. By combining your unique business and team with their expertise, network, company development support and funding they will hatch your inside advantage to a more than attractive financial event. Their hatch philosophy is 1. to bring focus in the business plan, strategy and roadmap; 2. Accelerate growth through their network and 3. catalyze the development of a venture’s inside advantage. They are passionate about new, inspiring and disruptive new enterprises that rock a sector and really create value for customers while creating profit for the business. The ultimate test of the pudding is how the market will value their combined efforts in achieving this through an attractive financial event. This may be in the form of an outright sale to a strategic player who values the potential they have shown, a merger with a strategic partner with whom they can fuel additional hatch phases, or achieving substantial additional funding from next phase financiers that confirm the bigger pie they have created. To be clear; this can only be achieved if they are focused on and passionate about their customers, business and inside advantage.
