What’s happening inside Hatch?
In this edition of Inside Hatch, we take the mic around to some of the meetups, workshops, and programs bringing entrepreneurs, business leaders, and creatives together across South Alabama.
We stop by WEN South Alabama to hear from local entrepreneurs about mentorship, community, and using technology to grow their businesses. Jenny, founder of Calera, also shares what she learned at Sloss Tech in Birmingham and the value of connecting with other founders and investors.
Then we head over to Lower Alabama AI for a little friendly Pensacola rivalry and a look at what people are learning about AI, before stopping by Marketing for Humans, where David Gibson shares a simple way to answer the question, “What do you do?” in a way that gets people interested in hearing more.
Finally, Hatch Music Accelerator alumnus Ben Kimsal talks about the value of having a clear process and framework for taking a song from an idea through the different stages of development.
