Haatch is an early-stage investor that has backed more than 200 startup companies.
Haatch led the pre-seed round with participation from Cape Capital and angel investors to help scale operations.
"There’s no path to net zero without rapidly scaling clean energy – but today, developers are building blind. They’re making multi-million pound decisions without clear data on where they can connect to the grid. Yottar exists to change that – giving them the visibility to act faster and avoid costly mistakes."
Haatch led the pre-seed round for the artificial intelligence native insurance broker to expand its engineering and data teams.
"After nearly 20 years in the industry, I’ve seen just how little has changed. Insurance is still too reliant on paperwork, underinsurance is far too common, and fees are often higher than they should be. We built Meshed to change that, to bring costs down for SMEs, give them the right protection and make the whole process faster, simpler, and more transparent."
The pre-seed round was led by Haatch and British Business Investments to support commercial growth.
"Hospitality’s AI transformation must be led from within the industry. Too often, hotels have struggled to adopt new technologies because they were developed without real operational insight. We’re incredibly excited about this new era, where the hospitality sector can not only embrace technology earlier than ever before, but also lead the way for the wider real estate and service industries. AI can improve guest experiences and create better working environments for hotel teams. That’s the future we’re building toward, and this round gives us the support to move faster and go further."
The Leeds-based tech-for-good startup secured pre-seed backing from Haatch to fuel product development and growth.
"We built Fundin to break down the barriers that keep small charities, CICs, and purpose-led businesses locked out of vital funding. Offering free access to local charities is our way of investing directly in our community and showing how powerful this tech can be in the right hands."
The funding round was backed by Mercia Ventures and Haatch to support team expansion and platform development.
"Having worked with Sam previously during his time at Airship, we are pleased to back him and Nick in their latest venture. Candid offers an innovative solution to the challenges of hospitality recruitment and has gained rapid traction. The funding will enable the team to build on its initial success and to drive further growth."
