Being a Fellow in 2020
This year’s program launch could be qualified as pretty unique, we’d say “due to those unprecedented times”, but we’ve heard it’s overrated. So, let’s just say that when Covid 19…
After a challenging period and a strong fundraising effort without the desired results, the foundation has entered a period of dormancy. We welcome continued dialogue on the Hatch mission and our collective desire to have greater impact! Please reach out to us if you want to be a part of the mission. We look forward to reviving our work as soon as we can and thank you all for your support.
Hatch CoLab empowers entrepreneurs to build Impact Tech Ventures that solve Humanity’s Grand Challenges and drive sustainable change.
We are driven by our desire to be a positive force in the world, measuring success through collective sustainable impact towards Humanity’s Grand Challenges (HGCs).

Manifesto
It’s hard to be an entrepreneur. It’s not sexy. It’s not glamorous. It’s not conducive to “work-life balance” and it’s rarely friendly to your bank account. To be an entrepreneur is to be acquainted with failure. To be relentlessly optimistic. To be fearlessly committed to realizing your dream.
Amongst this subset of humanity are a select few who build ventures that solve the grand challenges of humanity and help shape a sustainable future.
You are the entrepreneurs of Hatch CoLab.
Read More … Our team was founded upon the same criteria by which we select our entrepreneurs. Courage. Tenacity. Mission. Results. We’re grounded by our desire to be a positive force in the world, and we excel at driving change. While we stand united in purpose, we acknowledge that every entrepreneur and venture is different. That’s why we provide early stage support, access to networks, and individualized coaching to grow your impact venture. We use the term coach because we function as a team. When you win, we win, and ultimately, so does humanity. We are pioneering a new approach to empowering entrepreneurs to build and scale impact tech ventures. We are Hatch CoLab.
Hatch CoLab is pioneering a new approach to incubation and acceleration programs for entrepreneurs looking to build and scale impact tech ventures.
Program
We supercharge through unparalleled network, unfair advantages and a dedicated impact program with no equity stake tailored to meet the needs of individual entrepreneurs, whom we call Hatchers.
Support
Our team of venture experts and mentors work closely with Hatchers to ensure their visions for change can move forward. Together, we provide access to extensive global networks and community connections.
Network
In addition to world class programs to supercharge entrepreneurs, we support them via long term commitment and the community we have built around us.
Space
Hatch has its main Campus in Geneva. Home to a thriving entrepreneurial & technology driven community Hatch has created the perfect conditions for global shapers and ventures to thrive.
