This is a chance for local entrepreneurs to not only showcase their startup in front of millions of viewers worldwide, but also the once in a lifetime opportunity to pitch their business to Silicon Valley investor, Tim Draper and stand the chance to win USD 1 million in investment.
Earlier last year, Vikram Bharati founder of Draper Startup House met with Jeevan Gnanam and Brindha Selvadurai-Gnanam, creators of Hatch, following which he expressed his confidence in Sri Lanka’s tremendous potential to transform itself from a troubled nation to a true start-up nation, commenting that the country’s growing entrepreneurship ecosystem presents the greatest opportunity in overcoming its hardships.
Hatch is on a mission to make innovation and entrepreneurship more accessible, sustainable, and inclusive to reflect the diversity seen in the world. Driven by the belief that entrepreneurs are the catalyst for economic development, collaboration drives innovation and that everyone, regardless of background should be given the opportunity to create a meaningful impact in the world; Hatch supports early-stage Start-ups by providing them with access to capital, training tools, mentoring, market access, 60,000 sq ft. of award-winning co-working space, and an entire support system through its blended model of community creation, incubators, accelerators and a fund. Starting with just 28 start-ups, in four years, Hatch has supported over 500 start-ups. Of these, they have incubated and accelerated 37% of them through programs and 33% of the founders are women-led or focused businesses.
Even in uncertain times, Hatch offers hope for budding Sri Lankan Entrepreneurs to not just excel within the country but internationally as well.
