“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.”

“Quite simply, HATCH makes us more dangerous. The companies that send their best and brightest to HATCH dramatically benefit from them returning refueled, re-energized, on the forefront of what’s next, and full of new collaboration opportunities.
