First Capital and Hatch share a common vision for Sri Lanka's future. Both organisations believe that true progress comes from empowering bold ideas and supporting entrepreneurs with the courage to build innovative solutions for the country and beyond. For Hatch, the initiative marks a natural next step. Over the years, it has been the first home for Sri Lanka's startup dreamers, providing a safe space where ideas grow into ventures and ventures evolve into stories of impact. Hatch has walked alongside founders, helping them secure funding, access markets and imagine a future beyond borders. For First Capital, the partnership represents an extension of its legacy. With more than four decades of building trust, creating access and fuelling progress in Sri Lanka's financial markets, the company now brings that spirit of investment to a more human level, backing the innovators who will shape the next chapter of the nation's story.
