From Our COMMUNITY
It’s hard to explain. Listen to what HATCH Alumni are saying…
“HATCH is something you can only experience to understand. Spending 5 days with 100 complete strangers and walking away with some authentic friendships is remarkable. Meeting extraordinary people and learning about how they are changing the world gives me a renewed sense of hope for my work.”
At HATCH I made incredible relationships, I was given an opportunity to use creativity in formulating ideas for how to HATCH a better world, and because of HATCH, I now have the resources and support to collaboratively help these ideas become reality. HATCH is amazing because it changed my life and has given me the tools to change the lives of others.
“Imagine gathering up a hundred innovators, artists, makers, creators, educators, risk-takers, influencers, and mavericks… people who want to shake the world by its ankles. And are destined to.
Imagine them in a room together, teased out of their cocoons, grids off, brains on, glass flying everywhere: A NASA engineer tackles a problem for an entrepreneur. A scientist cracks open an idea for music distribution. An ad executive delivers insight to a health-care play. An inventor, architect, and designer sketching new models for education… Imagine that. Or just find yourself at HATCH.”
“I have been to the world’s top conferences and retreats, but I have never been surrounded, by people – and an environment so powerful as HATCH. I am re-HATCHed”
