Chris Hitchen built and sold companies like Getprice and Hynt before becoming an investor, spent years investing in Germany before returning to Melbourne, and remains the founding investor and chairman of Holidu rather than just sitting on its board. He also brings a background in sports science, came up through angel investing and syndicates instead of the usual analyst-to-partner path, and is known for backing companies early—like a small check into Sorare when it only had five people—based on quick gut calls and a focus on founders with a genuinely authentic mission.
