What is a Hatchathon?
A Hatchathon is a 2.5-day interactive workshop that helps teams take “big ideas” about making change in the community and turn those ideas into reality. Teams come from local churches or community organizations.
“Big ideas” can be anything focused on doing good—for for the community and its members, for the environment, for those feeling alone or hopeless—because ultimately, any projects striving to make the world better are examples of God at work through us.
Funded by a grant from the Zoe Project at Princeton Theological Seminary, Hatchathons are facilitated by thought leaders from Ministry Incubators. Participants are guided through the creation of basic framing documents and pitch decks, and have the opportunity to present their ideas to local business professionals. At the conclusion, some teams may receive grants to help get projects off the ground.
