ENTREPRENEUR SUPPORT
Hatchform works with entrepreneur support organizations
Business Incubators, accelerators, venture studios, maker spaces, coworking spaces, innovation hubs, and shared commercial kitchens are all examples of entrepreneur support programs. Some of these programs are run by standalone entities like the Santa Fe Business Incubator and some are part of an organization’s portfolio of projects like a community college that operates an open community maker space. HatchForm has deep domain expertise in the design, launch, and management of these programs. Services that we provide include:
