Listen to the stories of some of our inspiring graduates, and learn how you too can join the Hatch movement.

“Hatch was actually incredibly crucial in empowering me, actually, and giving me all the tools that I needed to incorporate the business. I solved a lot of issues that I had at the beginning and it made me able to incorporate the business and so actually bring it to reality and make it a reality. Hatch was a crucial point in the entire story.”

"The only thing I had to do was invest my time. But the return on my investment. What I'm getting back is. I can't even bring it into words because I now can see how my business is growing, why my business is growing, what it needs to do in order to grow. I can see it clearly. Whereas before I felt like I was just kind of muddling along and hoping that, you know, I was going to hit at some point."

"I think that Hatch is invaluable. I really, really valued the support that the organisation has given me. So I received months of amazing support from people at Hatch. And the thing that I loved about the Hatch team was how friendly they were, how supportive they were, you genuinely felt that they wanted to see you succeed and make your business idea become real."

“Working alongside Hatch has made me feel a part of a new community. The sessions and effort put in by their staff have been invaluable. We are given every opportunity to develop in the business world and make life-changing connections."

"Oh my goodness, my confidence, it just jumped up throughout the programme. It was an amazing community to be a part of. I just didn’t know that it existed and that charities like Hatch existed"

“We have been on a few different programmes and by FAR, Hatch Enterprise has been the best. From invaluable mentorship to tailored programs for diverse founders, they've been the guiding light for over 7,800 UK entrepreneurs. We cannot recommend Hatch Enterprise enough!”
