From e27:

Data-driven venture investment platform Hatcher+ today announced the completion of the 100th investment from its H2 fund and the closing of a $7.5m (US$5.5m) seed funding round.

Describing the funding round as oversubscribed, Hatcher+ stated that it plans to use the investment to further develop its predictive analytics engine and business process automation platform.

“Over the past year, we’ve invested in startups at a rate of three a week, which is a fairly unprecedented rate of investment. And to date, these investments have mainly been in Australia, Europe, India, and the US,” said John Sharp, Co-Founder and Partner at Hatcher+.

“Our goal now is to aggressively expand our investment activity into China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and the Middle East in partnership with leading advisory firms and co-investment partners, and to expand our deal analysis footprint through tie-ups with leading service providers to the VC industry,” he continued.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
