Hatch is a national charity that supports underrepresented entrepreneurs from across the UK to launch and grow businesses that are both sustainable and successful, and have a lasting impact on their communities. We’re committed to building a fairer society by helping develop entrepreneurs’ skills, knowledge, and confidence through our unique programmes designed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, and our sustainable, compassionate financial support offering. We’re not typical of the third sector. Although we’re a charity, we think and act like a business. Since 2014, we’ve supported more than 7,800 UK entrepreneurs to flourish, building a vibrant network of partners, funders, and investors who share our vision in the process. In 2022-23, more than 8 in 10 (84%) founders on our longer-term support programmes were female or from a marginalised gender, with more than 6 in 10 (64%) coming from a minority ethnic group. Nearly one in five (18%) founders on the same programmes told us they were disabled or neurodiverse. Our founders also told us the areas of knowledge and expertise they felt had seen the biggest improvements before and after completing a Hatch programme: - Accessing the funding they needed saw an increase of 97% - Measuring and communicating the impact of their business or organisation saw increases of 79% and 69% respectively. - Setting their organisation’s mission and vision saw an increase of 49% We estimate that since starting 10 years ago, businesses founded by our graduates employ more than 2,500 people in the UK and have raised more than £20m in investment. We work closely with our partners and funders, including UBS, J.P. Morgan, Yum!, Natwest and the Postcode Innovation Trust, bringing them closer to founders at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey. e: hello@hatchenterpise.org t: 020 7993 0074 Twitter: @HatchEnterprise FB: www.facebook.com/HatchEnterprise Instagram: hatchenterprise
