Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Singapore’s award-winning venturetech developer, Hatcher+, announced today the launch of the world’s first AI-powered, end-to-end, deal management and fund administration technology platform that streamlines the process of fund creation, dealflow analysis, portfolio management and accounting, and real-time stakeholder reporting for venture capital and private equity.

The FAAST™ (Funds-As-A-Service Technology) platform incorporates ground-breaking AI-based deal assessment and management technologies to optimise deal analysis and management. Supported by sophisticated stakeholder reporting and end-to-end “single source of truth” data management framework, the platform also offers fund administrators the option of adding comprehensive, multi-asset class fund accounting and administration capabilities.

Its creators, Hatcher+, believes FAAST™ has what it takes to revolutionize the fund administration landscape for private equity and venture capital fund administrators, and family offices – a multi-trillion-dollar AUA (Assets Under Administration) industry.

“Fund administration is an industry that has suffered for decades from delays, errors, omissions, and a lack of transparency due to a lack of innovation and investment in new technologies such as blockchain and AI,” said John Sharp, Managing Partner of Hatcher+.

“Our FAAST™ platform enables fund administrators to offer a significantly higher level of service to their customers, including AI-powered deal flow management, end-to-end data entry and retrieval, and real-time stakeholder reports.  It is a game changer not just for customers, but for fund administrator employees and staff as well.”

FAAST™ is a cutting-edge software platform that empowers fund administrators by providing a comprehensive and reliable solution. It automates, streamlines, and scales data processing to optimise efficiency and minimise errors. To further empower fund managers and administrators, the FAAST™ FundBuilder module enables the creation of regulated fund structures in minutes, complete with legal documents and a choice of licensed fund managers, fund administrators, and other service providers, all based on standardized pricing.

FAAST™ also provides robust tools for constructing scalable portfolios, managing tasks, and seamlessly coordinating teams. Furthermore, the FAAST™ BackOffice module presents real-time financial data through visually captivating charts and diagrams, enhancing clarity and comprehension for all stakeholders.

Seamless Investor Onboarding Process

The platform features an integrated e-KYC module that simplifies the onboarding of investors by reducing the time and effort required for compliance. Enhanced ID verification and Customer Due Diligence processes are incorporated to reduce the risk of fraud and money laundering activities, ensuring a smoother and safer onboarding of clients.

FAAST™ delivers an all-in-one solution for partnership and portfolio accounting, automating investor accounting, reporting, and Net Asset Value (NAV) calculation. It supports various asset types, including private equity, and offers flexible reporting and performance attribution capabilities. With direct connections to custodians and market data feeds, FAAST™ streamlines data aggregation and reconciliation while meeting compliance standards, providing valuable insights and boosting efficiency.

The platform’s real-time general ledger also offers a reliable hub for investment and investor accounting. It features a customisable chart of accounts, automated tax reporting, and streamlined accounts payable and cash management, allowing for the production of accurate, timely financial reports and easy consolidation of financials across multiple entities.
