Hatch Connect

What happens when startups, students, and communities come together to solve real problems?

Join us right after MERGE Demo Day as we celebrate the first MERGE cohort, showcase real solutions built for communities.

• MERGE startups and municipal partners
• Early-stage founders and curious builders
• Students exploring entrepreneurship and innovation
• Community leaders with problems ready to be solved

Stick around after Demo Day (or drop in just for Hatch Connect) to have some good food, refreshments and connect while learning how MERGE helps startups turn ideas into validated solutions — with support, mentorship, and Planet Hatch membership along the way.

• Network with startups, students, and community partners
• Learn how communities bring real problems — and startups solve them
• Discover how MERGE + Planet Hatch support validation, growth, and traction

Secure your spot today to be part of this exclusive event and unlock a world of opportunities for growth, collaboration, and success. We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event and witnessing the transformative connections and collaborations that will shape the future of entrepreneurship in our community.

Whether you’re a student curious about startups, a founder looking for your next opportunity, or someone who wants to build solutions that matter — this is where it starts.
