HAX's investment range is quite broad, with the firm willing to invest a minimum of $100,000 up to $5,000,000, with a sweet spot of around $1,500,000 for the most promising ventures.

The firm is managed by seasoned professionals like Andrew Gollach, who brings his extensive technical and operational expertise to the team.
