What Our Partners Say

We feel that by supporting The Hatchery, we are supporting students who are acquiring a skill set to succeed in a rapidly changing world. How could we not support such an ambitious and motivated program?

Martha & Bill Dobes, Emory alumni & Investors

The decision to support a venture at The Hatchery aligns with our values at Palladin. We believe in empowering the next generation of innovators. It’s incredibly exciting to see what’s being built and to support fellow Emory Eagles as they accelerate their entrepreneurial journeys and build companies that create real value.

Brandon Ward, Founder & CEO, Palladin Technologies


I could barely spell entrepreneurship during my time at Emory, and certainly wasn’t aware of anyone promoting it on campus. I’m amazed by how that’s changed over the last decade, and love working with The Hatchery’s students as they transform their ideas into companies.

Dan Eidell, Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, Hatchery Innovator-in-Residence


It is such a pleasure to be part of the amazing Emory ecosystem and The Hatchery’s team to support these extraordinary student founders and teams.

Ayesha Khanna, Executive Director, Tides & Hatchery Innovator-in-Residence


Working with talented students from Emory has deepened my passion for introducing young people to entrepreneurship. The Hatchery is doing such great work developing student entrepreneurs. It's a privilege to be a part of it.
