What is a HATCHERY?
It is Venture Collaboration.
In New York's competitive venture climate, entrepreneurs often lack the business connections and brand awareness to get the attention of potential funders, and at the same time many investors don't have a pipeline into early-stage technology and Internet companies. The Hatchery provides a unique funnel for innovators to interact with a wide range of investors, present their plans, receive expert feedback, bring in strong leadership, and pave the way for them to receive angel and institutional funding. At the heart of The Hatchery's model is the Gauntlet, an interactive process that gives entrepreneurs 7 minutes to present their business models to a range of investors, followed by panel and audience Q&A/critique. Think of it as "American Idol meets Venture Capital."

Hatchery opens its doors to a fast paced New York style pitch event.
Hatchery style honesty. In ways others may be too polite to share. It's what you need to hear about your startup, covering marketing, finance, technology, business, presentation, and more.
This has been the Hatchery Dry Run process initiated to all Hatchery companies chosen for the main event. We are opening to everyone. Read more

“A mentor of mine always told me to keep myself in two circles. One where I'm the minority opinion and one where I'm the majority opinion. One where I learn and one where I teach. I feel that networking within the Hatchery will fulfill both.” -
