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. Attendess 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: buid a prototype, get real user feedback, pitch your deck in front of real investors, win prizes. You can be a coder, designer, programmer, engineer, strategist, networker, MBA, an entrepreneur, a finance-whiz, inventor, a doodler, an artist, a creator, a builder, an academic, a drop-out, investor, founder, or future co-founder. All are welcome to participate in Hatch This. Hatch This events are held every fall. Check out Hatchavl.org for dates!
