Hawaii and hybrid process between your location
Whilst there is no equity investment during the programme, there is opportunity to meet investors within our network who may seek to invest in your company during phase III, including Hatch Blue and other investors in the blue economy.
All flight travel is covered and will be booked for you. Land transport between the hotels and workshop venue will also be pre-arranged. Accommodation at selected hotels will be reimbursed unless you require advanced support. All lunch meals, snacks and beverages will be available during workshop hours within the workshop hours. There is no per diem offered.
No, you do not need to be in or have your own business in order to apply to participate in the workshop. Any one person, team, or startup are encouraged to apply.
On a case-by-case basis, we will consider a maximum of three participants per team.
Yes, during phase I and Phase II, on-site presence is required as we will run all activities on location. In our experience, physically connecting with the cohort, Hatch Blue team and its mentors is far more rewarding and productive.
The subsequent phase III of the programme will take place on a remote and hybrid basis at the Ocean Foundry in HOST Park, Kailua-Kona.
Subsequent online support sessions will continue to assess participant progress.
Hatch Blue was conceived in late 2017 by co-founders Carsten Krome, Wayne Murphy and Georg Baunach, with the goal to revolutionize the way we produce seafood through investing in its technological development.
