What We Do

Get behind the scenes insights from startup tech teams: https://www.myhatchpad.com/newsletter/

hatch I.T. is a specialized technology consulting firm connecting software, product, and data engineers with tech startups in emerging tech markets. We offer customized models that transform the way early-stage and high-growth startups scale. Our flagship programs include:

- Scale – technical consulting and recruiting services for high-growth startups
- Stride – technical strategy and consulting for early-stage startups
- hatchpad – an online community platform connecting startup technologists to network, learn, and advance in their careers

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.

If you’re a startup looking to grow your startup team, or an engineer looking for a career at an innovative tech company, connect with hatch I.T. today.
