Hatchbrands Ventures, a small Ottawa-based venture capital fund, has been acquired by Atlanta-based iBrands Corp.
iBrands says it will use the fund to invest in startups that are coming out of university and college-based accelerators and incubators.
“We believe a public vehicle such as Hatchbrands will change the way investments are made in accelerator-backed startups, and will give an alternative way for individuals and investors that today are not able to participate in accelerator-backed startups due to the accredited investor status, an alternative way to invest,” said Marco Janeczek, Hatchbrand’s venture partner, in a press release.
