HATCH Studios: Unlocking Solutions for the Seemingly Unsolvable
Where Complexity Meets Curated Creativity
At a time when the world’s challenges are growing more complex, the ability to creatively solve at the systems level is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. HATCH Studios exists to meet that need.
Housed within one of the most trusted innovation ecosystems in the world, HATCH Studios is the engine behind Impact Labs—short-format, high-impact design sprints that help leading organizations break through gridlock, challenge assumptions, and co-create actionable roadmaps for change.
But these are no ordinary design sprints.
HATCH Studios brings together curated cohorts of global thought leaders—Oscar-winning filmmakers, AI pioneers, Fortune 500 strategists, climate scientists, poets, policy makers, and social impact entrepreneurs—who cross-pollinate with your internal teams to unlock creative potential, bridge silos, and surface solutions that are both imaginative and implementable.

RECENT LAB
ZERO PLASTIC WASTE COMMUNITIES
This year, HATCH is proud to be partnering with the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes on a major circular economy project. In partnership with Pyxera Global, HATCH has convened a group of subject matter experts, social sector organizations, and corporations leading zero plastic waste efforts around the world to build solutions to address plastic waste at the community level in Lake County, Montana. The multi-phased approach will also be deployed in other communities around the globe to understand, test, and scale solutions that are both highly specific to the local environment and which provide opportunities for replication in other geographies. The proposed multi-year approach has four phases: 1) Convene and Assess, 2) Design site-specific interventions, 3) Implement and Iterate, 4) Adapt and Replicate.
PAST LABS
Companies including Intel, Google, Ernst & Young, Hasbro and more have seen their top management permanently changed and inspired by the HATCH Labs process.
Whether you are a part of a small startup team or a large multi-national corporation, or whether you have one day or seven, give us a CHALLENGE. HATCH Labs will unlock creativity and visionary thinking within your organization to maximize efficient processes, culture, and positive global impact.
REP4 FUTURE OF LEARNING LAB
An alliance of 6 University presidents engaged HATCH to design, curate, and facilitate a transformational summit to lead to tangible impact. The goal was to reimagine the future of education to create more non-traditional pathways to higher education degrees for 100’s of thousands of students that might not otherwise get that chance.
OCEAN PLASTICS LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
In 2019, HATCH partnered with an expeditions company to convene, design, and facilitate the first Ocean Plastics Leadership Summit on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean at one the largest plastics gyres to work on solutions related to the ocean plastics crisis.
In their words
The HATCH program brought a philosophy and process that allowed us to understand and unlock our inner superheroes, encourage us to look left, right. below and above…to learn from other internally, and most importantly, seek those with completely different lenses perspectives and ideas.
There were literally hundreds of oucomes. The energy we witnessed over two days was phenomental. The relationship building, mindset shift, will massively benefit Hasbro for the forseeaable future – shorter term and long. We empowered a new legion of creative leaders.
The challenge that intel tasked HATCH Labs was a complex one. In response, HATCH founder, Yarrow Kraner, curated an all-star team of unexpected and diverse expertise, who brought their unique perspectives to the table and pushed the boundaries of the breakthoughs we sought.
Intel’s HATCH Lab did not dissapoint, and the comprehensive outcomes report contained crucial insights and numerous pivotal strategies, and is still guiding many of our product decisions today. Additionally, the process and rapid ideation catalyzed our team to cross-pollintae in a way that has had long term benefits.
I would highly recommend HATCH Labs to any compnay, organization, or agency to facilitate break-throughs in innovation or vision.
A huge thank you and hats off. The HATCH Lab was an inspiring and thought-provoking day. And also a lot of fun. It’s amazing that in such a short amount of time, we now have endless ideas to digest and move to activation. There is some real depth to what can be accomplished together.
Thanks again for your creativity and partnership.
