The first Hatch CoLab Demo Day was held on March 28th at the Club Suisse de la Presse in Geneva. On this occasion, the first batch of 8 impact ventures was presented to the public.

Hatch CoLab empowers entrepreneurs to build Impact Ventures that solve Humanity’s Grand Challenges and drive sustainable change by pioneering a new approach to incubation and acceleration services for entrepreneurs looking to build and scale social ventures. Driven by its desire to be a positive force in the world, Hatch provide early-stage support, access to networks, and individualized coaching to grow impact ventures. 

Last Thursday, 8 Hatch CoLab fellows, coming from Switzerland, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Nigeria and US, took the stage to pitch and showcase their ventures and organizations to an audience of 100+ Impact Investors, NGOs, UN Organisations, Foundations, Corporates, Associations and more. After 5 months of work, the entrepreneurs returned to Geneva once again to present their achievements.
