Hedgehog

Idea

Introduction

Hedgehog helps eligible investors access the benefits of investing in the world around us - from real estate to renewable energy - at a lower cost. All in one easy-to-use web-app that integrates with the latest blockchain technology.

Real asset investments can offer attractive benefits. Traditionally, those types of investments were once the reserve of big funds with big cash reserves. For most of us, making such investments would be too costly and complex. Hedgehog exists to lower those barriers, making it easier to benefit from investing in the world around us.

By creating a digital investment solution that offers the kind of user experience we believe today's modern consumer demands, our all-star team is opening up opportunities for more people.

Substantial accomplishments to date

🦔 Since 2021, we’ve been working hard to turn our vision into a functional product. We did that by tackling the big stuff first:

🦔 We secured an initial supply of investment opportunities in more than £1bn of high-quality real estate, owned and managed by a proven team with a 30-year track record.

🦔 Our in-house team with experience from the likes of Monzo and Revolut built a Hedgehog web-app that offers the kind of user experience we believe today’s modern consumer demands.

🦔 We’ve had our first successful return of capital to investors. Following a refinancing of the underlying prime real estate asset that generated a 56% return*, investors in our first token offering have experienced a successful realisation in less than 12 months.

*56% return represents the annualised figure from a return of 39.5% for 9 months made by non-US investors.

🦔 We did the legal and regulatory structuring for our passive investment product that gives eligible individuals access to potential financial benefits while the existing asset managers retain day-to-day control.

🦔 We integrated blockchain technology so that, instead of paper certificates, Hedgehog investors own digital tokens that represent their investments as a first step towards making it easier for them to sell their investment in the future should they wish to.

Monetisation strategy

With Hedgehog there are no upfront fees for eligible investors. Asset owners pay Hedgehog an annual fee for raising capital and management services. Eligible investors pay Hedgehog a one-off performance fee if an investment is successful. This results in a regular and diversified revenue stream.

Use of proceeds

With your investment into Hedgehog we plan to expand in a number of directions.

Marketing → To reach our target customer, building a user base.

Product growth → To launch more investments, which we already have lined up.

Product Development → To continue to build the technology that brings the barriers to entry down, such as integrating the option to sell your tokens if you need to, and releasing a mobile app which we're hoping will be available by the end of 2022.

All of these things should help build a world where, as an eligible investor, you can gain exposure to real asset investment opportunities that truly matter to you. And where, as an asset owner, you’re able to raise capital from a much bigger investor pool without the admin hassle.

A world where more people have better opportunities to invest in the world around us.
