We all know the stories of celebrated businesses that started as notes on a napkin — humble but inspired beginnings that blossomed into global success. But there’s a point at which any great idea has to transition from scrap paper scribbles to the real world, and HatchThis might just be the step to success that your idea needs.
Hosted by Hatch AVL Foundation, Venture Asheville, and AVL Digital Nomads, the weekend-long party invites local entrepreneurs to bring their business ideas for workshopping, networking, expert advice, and the chance to compete for $20,000 in prizes.
The concept is simple: Participants pitch their ideas, and everyone chooses their favorites. Winning participants choose their teams to build a prototype, get user feedback and coaching, and pitch their deck to real investors.
Innovators and trailblazers can attend from Friday, Sept. 27 to Sunday, Sept. 29 at Hatch Innovation Hub. The general public can join for the final pitch on Sunday.
