ABOUT

At Hatchet Ventures, we are redefining the advisory landscape through a pioneering approach that empowers startups with a collective braintrust of experienced builders. Our mission is to provide unwavering support to founders, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the startup journey with unparalleled guidance.

Our unique builder co-op model sets us apart. Instead of relying on just a few advisors, our portfolio companies gain access to a diverse community of accomplished builders who have achieved profitable exits. This collaborative network shares insights, connections, and best practices, serving as an optimal sounding board for idea validation and growth strategies.

We are driven by a strong commitment to diversity and inclusivity. We prioritize supporting founders from underrepresented backgrounds, including women, BIPOC individuals, non-binary individuals, first-generation college graduates, non-college graduates, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and military veterans. By fostering an inclusive venture community, we strive to break down barriers and provide equal opportunities for all.
At Hatchet Ventures, we handpick portfolio companies based on their alignment with our builders’ expertise, product-market fit, scalability, and their ability to address real-world problems. We have a profound desire to make a positive impact and solve genuine business pain points, driving meaningful change and creating a better world.

Our unwavering support for builders is rooted in authenticity. We believe in building together, fostering a culture of collaboration, and ensuring that our founders’ success is never exploited. With Hatchet Ventures, you gain more than just advisors; you gain a dedicated community of builders committed to your success.

Join us on our mission to democratize startup knowledge and networks. Together, we will create a thriving ecosystem where every founder has the tools, support, and opportunities they need to hatch their ventures and make a lasting impact.

THE FOUNDER'S SOLUTION

Startup founders typically do not have insights into the process of bringing a business to life and the intricacies this entails. Investment capital typically comes at a high cost. Hatchet’s group of entrepreneurs has put together a model to help founders get the information, resources, introductions, and connections they need to succeed without giving up significant equity.

The typical advisors ask for .25 – 2% of a company but provide only one purview or network in return. Alternatively, Hatchet offers a roster of 30-40 Founders and Advisors who have experienced the journey of building and fundraising for the price of one advisor. Our roster of experts, and unique connections to venture, angel investors, and private equity will help position your business for a win and a successful raise, without giving up considerable equity or cash.

Hatchet gives us an on-demand network of advisors that we can tap for anything and everything from go-to-market strategy to which bank to choose. It's almost alarming how quickly the team jumps on questions in slack or sets up calls with experts for our needs. I am so used to other resource networks I use being slow to respond/never get an answer/you have to fit in their schedule/can only ask for certain things, I've had to adjust to just how fast and effective Hatchet is. That's the way it should be!!

Every time I have an ask around fundraising, hiring, finance, etc… there are multiple thought leaders ready to hop on a call and help me through it. Starting a business is an amazing journey - having a partner like Hatchet helping you navigate the twists and turns is invaluable.

I can't recommend Hatchet Ventures enough for any founder in search of trustworthy resources and a solid support system. As a first-time founder, it's tough to know who to trust, but Hatchet's incredible advisory team, 1:1 coaching, and inclusive network have made all the difference. With their vast array of resources and support for every stage of my journey, from financial modeling to GTM strategy, the fear of the unknown has been eliminated. What sets Hatchet Ventures apart is their genuine care for my success, making them the clear choice for any founder looking to avoid wasting time with unhelpful resources.
