Back after a pandemic break, for the fourth year, HatchThis brings a game-changing mash-up of an accelerator, a hackathon, and a weekend-long party for the Asheville entrepreneurial community. Aspiring founders arrive on Friday evening with an idea, work throughout the weekend with their team and world-class mentors, and leave Sunday evening with a fleshed out business plan! HatchThis offers a unique combination of world-class business acumen and startup intensity – all designed to help participants compete for $20,000 in prizes, including a $5,000 cash seed funding package.
