We’re thrilled to announce the repurposing of Mesh Fund by Hatch—an initiative dedicated to strengthening Sri Lanka’s startup ecosystem through community-focused support. We are investing 10% of our profits of Hatch into the Mesh Fund. This will provide resources, mentorship, and financial support to early-stage entrepreneurs, creating a network where startups can thrive, support one another, and grow together. At hatch our purpose is to support startups and create a thriving community what better way than to invest back into what we believe in.
Addressing the Funding Gap in Sri Lanka
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. This is the problem Mesh Fund was created to solve. 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. Mesh Fund exists to fill this gap and to fuel social good by investing back into the community.
Building a Connected Community of Innovators
Empowering Entrepreneurs Through Collaboration: Mesh Fund isn’t just about funding—it’s about building a vibrant, interconnected community where founders help founders. Through shared resources, insights, and experiences, we’re fostering a collaborative environment that uplifts everyone involved, encouraging mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and mutual growth.
Strengthening Local Networks: 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.
Driving Collective Impact for Sustainable Growth: 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.
Join the Movement
We invite Sri Lanka’s aspiring entrepreneurs to be part of this community-first approach.
With Mesh Fund, we’re building more than just businesses—we’re building a movement, a movement of good.
Funding Criteria: Early-stage startups, just past idea stage that have an MVP and some very early market traction. Please contact jeevan@hatch.lk
