FAQ
Where Does The Hatchloom Name Come From?
Hatchloom is more than just a business education program—it's a community designed to spark innovation and entrepreneurial thinking among young learners. Our name reflects our core mission of "hatching" new ideas and weaving together the skills, connections, and creativity needed to launch successful ventures. We believe that social connectivity and in-person conversations are the foundational threads that help transform creative concepts into real-world solutions. Just as a loom weaves individual threads into a cohesive fabric, Hatchloom weaves together young entrepreneurs' unique talents and ideas to create something powerful and transformative.
What Other Programs Does Hatchloom Offer?
Beyond our popular "From Spark to Empire" half-day workshop, Hatchloom offers comprehensive entrepreneurship programs designed to support young innovators at every stage. Our curriculum includes Entrepreneurship 101 and 201, which guide students through idea generation, business planning, and scaling strategies, along with our upcoming Express MBA program. Available both online and in-person, these programs provide interactive, engaging learning experiences that help students develop critical business skills and entrepreneurial thinking.
Is Hatchloom Right For My 11-Year Old?
While our core programs are primarily designed for ages 12 and up, we absolutely welcome motivated 11-year-olds who demonstrate strong interest and maturity.
