[Haatch Pulse @Haatchpulse]

UK venture has a coverage problem.

Rounds get reported after they've already closed, regulatory shifts get explained after they've moved markets, and the founder stories that actually predict the next cycle rarely make it into the press at all.

Starting now, we want to change that.

Haatch is a UK pre-seed VC fund. We've spent over a decade backing founders at day zero, and so much of what we see day-to-day never reaches anyone outside the people at the term sheet. After years of learning from the front row, it's time to share the view.

So if we haven't met yet, we're Haatch, and we:

• Run one of the UK's most active pre-seed funds, recently ranked among the top 20 in Europe, with 150+ portfolio companies and a combined valuation north of £1bn.

• Write the largest pre-seed & seed cheques in British B2B SaaS, often as the first cheque a UK founder ever takes.

• Have backed companies that have exited at multiples ranging from 6.5x to 276x, which reminds us every time why pre-seed is the most consequential layer of venture.

Haatch Pulse is the open window into that view. Real-time intelligence on UK early-stage venture, with the analysis the wire-service version leaves out.
