About Hatcher
Hatcher+ is a data-driven venture capital firm headquartered in Singapore, established to reshape the traditional venture capital model. Founded in 2016 as a successor to the original Hatcher investment vehicle, the company was started by John Sharp, Dan Hoogterp, and Wissam Otaky. The founding team combines deep expertise in diverse fields; Sharp has a background in cybersecurity, space, and telecoms, Hoogterp specializes in AI and machine learning, and Otaky brought experience as an early-stage angel investor. This blend of skills was foundational to the firm's data-centric investment philosophy, which emerged from the founders' observation that venture capital decisions were often based on "gut feel" rather than rigorous process.
Read full description
The core of the Hatcher+ business is its proprietary Funds-as-a-Service Technology (FAAST™) platform. This end-to-end digital operating system serves family offices and venture capital firms by leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation. The platform streamlines the entire investment lifecycle, from deal origination and AI-powered analysis to fund structuring, portfolio management, and automated stakeholder reporting. Hatcher+ provides access to a database of over 650,000 global startups, enabling clients to discover and analyze investment opportunities more efficiently. The business model is primarily a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) license for its VAAST/FAAST platform, but it also operates its own venture funds, such as the H2 Fund.
The company's key offering, the FAAST™ platform, enables clients to create fully compliant fund structures in minutes, discover investment prospects through a global network of accelerators and angel investors, and automate back-office activities like investor accounting and NAV calculations. A distinctive feature is the Hatcher+Score, an advanced machine learning system that evaluates a startup's potential for success across dimensions like exit potential and funding readiness, providing a credit score-like rating to help investors prioritize opportunities. By providing these data-driven tools, Hatcher+ aims to empower smaller, emerging fund managers to compete with larger, established firms by making their decision-making more scientific and efficient.
