In true startup fashion, our roots can be traced to a garage in Leesburg, VA in 2013. While working with local startups, our Founder & CEO, Tim Winkler, realized that traditional staffing models didn’t align with the growth needs of startups. Working with those firms felt transactional and the costs were way outside a startup's budget. There was a need for a solution that was relational, community driven, and flexibly priced. With this in mind, hatch I.T. was formed, along with customized models that transform the way early-stage and high-growth startups scale.
Fast forward 8 years and 15 employees later, hatch has developed a platform that provides a roadmap to guide startups from MVP through all stages of growth. After proving this model with dozens of startups across DC, Maryland, & Virginia, we realized it was needed in all emerging startup markets.
