Hatchworks is live!
The team is pleased to announce the formalisation of its partnership with Hatchworks, a venture firm and incubator. In partnership with the DALP as well, and it’s team, it will now seek to expand its investment and research program across all stages of investing resulting in an expansion of the DALP and acceleration of other companies such as Spectre.ai (advisory only), Skillgaming.com (advisory only) and select other portfolio projects.
Hatchworks’ investment mandate spans sectors and regions, allowing it to truly diversify and participate in uncorrelated growth.
“While Western markets have saturated and investors need game-changing ideas to truly scale their company, entrepreneurs in developing markets in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin-America can still address market inefficiencies for above-market returns.” said investment committee member Jaap Spreeuwenberg.
By leveraging off of key strategic positions its investment committee holds at major, regulated multi-billion dollar asset managers such as MFO Asset Management Ltd (amongst others), Hatchworks receives access to lucrative early-stage deal flow allowing it to co-invest with major venture capital firms, thereby being positioned well in key thematically attractive sectors such as AI, Big-data, AR/VR, IOT, Gaming, Trading and others. It produces key research on these sectors as a result, as can be found on the www.hatchworksvc.com website. These are not investment advice but for informational purposes only.
Operations Committee member Karen Yap, who assists in both monitoring and scaling of Hatchworks’ gaming portfolio stated
“Large growth opportunities exist in software-gaming and other sectors and we continue to be on the lookout for strategic fits that enhance the growth of the group’s key portfolio assets.”
By opening up this internal, proprietary process in the form of Hatchnet to the masses, Hatchworks is disrupting the venture capital sector by allowing every day people to obtain key insight to deal flow they normally would only obtain at later stages of investing (i.e IPO).
Hatchnet, the early-alpha of the group’s internal due diligence portal which benchmarks, across a range of quantitative and qualitative criteria, all portfolio assets (and those that didn’t make the cut), is already available to the masses. This portal does not provide investment advise (Update: This portal was closed in 2020).
“We are pleased to continue to situate the DALP and firm into a range of high growth, transformational sectors and will be able to participate with more interest and with with a wider berth right from seed-stage investments all the way through to Series A-D deals” , said investment committee member Ho Kiang San.
