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 hit around March 2020, we didn’t really know how it would impact our Hatch program, starting in September 2020. As months passed by, we knew our fellows’ health and wellbeing was our top priority and chose to adapt, shifting from an accelerating program based in Geneva, Switzerland, to a fully remote one! While not being ideal in several aspects, this situation allowed us to extend our venture panel way beyond Europe, welcoming onboard fellows coming all the way from Argentina. Despite a few adjustments, way too many “can you see my screen” and “you are on mute” moments and the transformation of coffee breaks into zoom parties, Hatch didn’t lose sight of its primary objective: Supercharging Impact tech ventures in order to solve Humanity’s Grand Challenges.
And, If there’s one thing we’ve learned from 2020, it’s the need to never stop battling against inequalities and the crucial importance of innovative mindsets to build a better tomorrow.
That’s why this year, we’ve worked twice as hard towards selecting impact tech ventures that would help solve Humanity’s Grand Challenges in the best possible way, and we couldn’t be happier with our selection!
