Hello, I’m Blake!
Local entrepreneur and program manager
I find myself inspired by my new ideas, and at the same time, terribly afraid of what might happen if I actually pursue them.
With HATCH programming we support starters through the idea stage and early phases of their businesses, providing guidance to give you the confidence to succeed.
