India Accelerator and Hatcher+ Forge a Groundbreaking Partnership to Elevate Indian Startups in Pivotal Investment Sectors
In a strategic move set to revolutionise the startup landscape, India Accelerator, heralded as the Best Accelerator in India in 2021, joins forces with Hatcher+, an award-winning venture capital firm ranked among the Top 20 data-driven VCs in the world. This alliance is designed to discover and nurture promising Indian startups, harnessing the power of India’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem and Hatcher+’s advanced AI-driven FAAST™ (Funds as a Service Technology) platform.
Leveraging India Accelerator’s vast network, which includes over 200 startups and an expansive 1,800 mentor-investor lineup, combined with the technological prowess of Hatcher+, the collaboration aims to catapult startups in sectors such as fintech, healthtech, agritech, impact, SME (Sports, Media & Entertainment), B2B SaaS, and D2C to unprecedented heights over the next three years.
“India has built a strong and fast-paced entrepreneurial ecosystem, giving rise to 110 unicorn startups and $99+ Bn combined funds acquisition. Though the Indian startup ecosystem continues to remain lucrative, there is still a mismatch between the valuation expectations of founders and investors – creating a push-and-pull effect in the market. We are delighted to partner with Hatcher+ which will go beyond traditional VC operations and focus on the scalability of the Indian startup ecosystem,” said Ashish Bhatia, Founder & CEO of India Accelerator.
Echoing this enthusiasm, John Sharp, Managing Partner at Hatcher+, commented, “India Accelerator’s deep connection with Indian startups, paired with our technologically advanced FAAST™ platform, promises a transformative experience. The FAAST™ platform’s capabilities extend beyond traditional venture capital operations. Its AI-driven approach allows for precise deal analysis, real-time portfolio management, and intelligent capital deployment, ensuring that promising startups receive timely and impactful support. We’re looking forward to fostering innovation and scaling excellence in the Indian startup ecosystem.”
