In Sri Lanka, one of the biggest challenges facing early-stage entrepreneurs is the lack of accessible funding. Many promising startups struggle to find the resources they need to grow and succeed, which hampers innovation and stifles economic development.
The Mesh Fund by Hatch was created to solve this problem. Ten percent of the profits of Hatch is invested in the Fund.
“We believe that funding for startups shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for a few, but a pathway accessible to all with the drive and potential to create change. The Mesh Fund fills this gap and fuels social good by investing back into the community,” a Hatch spokesman said.
The Mesh Fund isn’t only about funding — it’s about building a vibrant, interconnected community where founders help founders.
“By investing in early-stage startups, we’re building a powerful network of visionaries across Sri Lanka who are driven by shared goals and united by their entrepreneurial spirit. Our goal is to support these startups not only financially but also by connecting them to a broader community that amplifies their growth.
“The Mesh Fund reflects our commitment to sustainable, inclusive development.
“We believe that when one startup succeeds, it strengthens the entire community, paving the way for more innovators to succeed. This collective impact model ensures that each success story has a ripple effect, inspiring and enabling others to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams,” the spokesman added.
