Background

[Haatch](https://Haatch.com/founders) invests in business software companies at pre-seed and seed stage. Its founders programme combines capital with practical support on selling products, building Teams and expanding operations. The Firm focuses on software sold to other businesses, working with founders as they establish their products and customer relationships.

It also operates an angel syndicate platform, giving established investor groups a route to co-investment through the [British Business Bank's Regional Angels Programme](https://www.british-business-bank.co.uk/news-and-events/news/british-business-bank-commits-ps2-million-Cambridge-capital-group-Haatch-platform). Groups using the platform retain their own approach to finding and backing companies. Haatch therefore has two roles in early-stage finance: investing directly in software businesses and supporting other investors through its platform.
