Haatch is an early-stage investor that has backed more than 200 startup companies.
The Manchester based financial wellness platform has raised pre-seed capital from Haatch Ventures and various angel investors to develop its product and test growth strategies.
"There are many personal finance apps helping people to manage money, but no-one is combining that with specifically addressing the underserved needs of women and the amazing power of community."
The pre-seed round was led by firstminute Capital with backing from SeedX and Haatch Ventures.
"Instead of yet another one-click checkout, Volume is building the world’s first-ever transparent checkout. Ecommerce has a ‘hidden tax’ in the form of payment commissions to cards and ewallets, and consumers don’t know this ultimately impacts on the prices they pay. We want to finally bring transparency to this enormous market and kill all hidden fees. What Transferwise did for cross-border payments, we’ll do for online payments. We estimate that if every merchant were to implement our solution, the ecommerce industry could save $800 billion in fees."
The pre-seed round was backed by Haatch Ventures, SyndicateRoom, and Alma Angels.
"Slip has created a frictionless experience for retailers and their customers which allows retailers to capture in-store data, with an app for customers’ digital receipts. With our background in retail and e-commerce, we are brilliantly placed to provide hands-on support to Slip. We are thrilled to be backing Tash and Eddy at the start of their growth journey and very much look forward to working with them."
The oversubscribed round was co-led by ADA Ventures and Slingshot Ventures to support the development of remote dental care technology.
"From first hand experience as dentists, we’ve seen patients have to overcome many hurdles in servicing their oral health needs. We are developing proprietary AI and Image Recognition technology to empower patients. With so many dental diseases preventable we are pioneering a new way for patients to uptake dental treatments and see a dentist on demand through amazing technology."
The Brighton-based insurtech secured its first external investment from Haatch Ventures to expand its artificial intelligence technology.
"We are known entities as a team, we were part of the founding team of INSHUR. I have been working behind the scenes on investment and go-to-market strategy since the start of the year. I have been impressed with the technical development and pleased to be bringing to market a genuine AI innovation. Not only does the product deliver profit and performance gains for the insurer, it delivers fair value for the end customer."
