Hatch This! is an entrepreneurial event bringing makers, artists, and dreamers together to launch a business in just one weekend.

A mash-up of a “startup weekend”, a hackathon, and an accelerator, Hatch This! matches attendees in teams with expert mentorship to craft a startup and compete for prizes including seed funding and office space.

Attendees should come ready to pitch a business idea or ready to offer your skills and join a team. Once teams form, the real work begins: build a prototype, get real user feedback, pitch your deck in front of real investors, win prizes.

You can be a coder, a designer, a programmer, an engineer, a strategist, a networker, an MBA, an entrepreneur, a finance-whiz, an inventor, an innovator, a doodler, an artist, a creator, a builder, an academic, a drop-out, an investor, a founder or a future co-founder – all are welcome to participate at Hatch This!
