^{Friends of HatchBridge,}  

HatchBridge is 1!

One year ago on July 1, 2023, HatchBridge opened its doors to Cohort 1 and our first eight companies.

It’s been a whirlwind of a year. We have seen great foundations built for communities of startup founders as well as a community of faculty founders working university spinouts.

We’ll have a full year wrap-up soon and share some stats, but I wanted to take a minute and thank you for your support of the HatchBridge community. We wouldn’t be here without founders, mentors, investors, administrators, community partners, or friends. We succeed when our founders succeed - thank you for contributing to this community.

The next fiscal year brings new excitement as well! I’ll wait to unveil some of the fun initiatives in the works, but safe to say we aren’t done building to support entrepreneurs surrounding KSU.

Year 2: here we come!

Director of Incubation and Commercialization

The Corridor Coffee Club, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at connecting coffee lovers with independent coffee shops as a unified collective, the program brings focused attention to the need for community support of these small businesses. A core component is the innovative Digital Coffee Passport Program.

Passport members receive one free coffee per month from participating locations, with most shops extending additional discounts.

We are thrilled to have participated in Atlanta Tech Week 2024.

It was an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow innovators and experience the latest advancements in technology.

Come join us for our monthly on Friday, on July 26th from 9-11am!

Our goal is to stimulate engaging discussions, foster new relationships, and enjoy the stunning scenery of Kennesaw Mountain.

The hike is open to everyone in the Atlanta Startup Ecosystem. It's designed to be a time for organic, informal business conversations while improving our health. We meet at the picnic tables near the trail entrance.
