I want to take a moment to introduce Bill Arnold, our new Director at HatchBridge - and to say that I'm glad to be back in your inbox for this one.
Bill brings thirty years of entrepreneurial experience, including time as Managing Director at Purdue Foundry and Venture Discovery Director at Big Idea Ventures, plus CEO and CTO roles in his own startups. He moved to Metro Atlanta in 2025 to be closer to family, and we're the beneficiaries. He's warm, curious, and wired the same way most of you are - he'd rather build something and learn from it than theorize from the sideline.
Going forward, Bill is your guy for HatchBridge. Reach out to him directly, get to know him, and give him the same energy you've given this community. I think you're going to like him.
Keep building!
