About
Hatchathon
A primer on Ministry Incubators signature event and how we can help innovators get their idea from back-of-a-napkin to ready to launch!
What Is a Hatchathon?
A Hatchathon is a 2.5 day virtual or in-person event lead by Ministry Incubators staff meant to help teams of innovators go from rough idea to a budget and strategy for pulling off a successful launch.
WHAt Does it include?
Modules will cover everything from clarifying vision to setting budget and it will culminate in a pitch in front of potential investors and grant-funders.
Who is A Hatchathon for?
A Hatchathon is for any faith-inspired team or solo innovator who is ready to take their idea out into the world. We have both sponsored Hatches and open registration options for independent innovators.

How to Join a Hatchathon
sponsored Hatchathon
Organizations such a seminaries, denominational bodies, non-profits and more may sponsor a Hatchathon and invite participants from inside their organization. This allows for a gathering of people with similar goals, and removes the burden of cost from those who would want to participate. Talk to our team about sponsoring a Hatchathon, here.
“Y’all Come” Hatchathon
Ministry Incubators also hosts open registration Hatchathons, affectionately known as “Y’all Come” events. These events are for innovators that don’t fit inside of a specific sponsoring body. These events have the advantage of a greater diversity of backgrounds and ideas, and are open to anyone who is a faith-based innovator! Talk to our team to learn when the next Y’all Come Hatchathon is scheduled.
