✍️From the Founders: We’re Headed to Y-Combinator

Written by Chris Bache | January 12, 2019

Starting a start-up is insane.

If you read the statistics and look at the odds, you would be an idiot to do it. It’s that risky. And starting up is just the beginning. Getting past $1M in ARR is impossible. Most never get there.

Getting into Y-Combinator, the world’s best accelerator for hyper growth companies out of Silicon Valley, has an acceptance rate lower than Harvard and MIT. But nonetheless, here we are.

 

I am just so grateful for the Hatch team. It takes a special group of people to execute, day in and day out, and to build a company from concept to reality.

The passion we have to help our customers, is inspiring. I’ve learned so much from our team along the way. And now, looking at already built companies, I have such a deep appreciation for the teams that got them there.

Because the truth is simple. There is no overnight success. No such thing. It takes unbelievable hard work, open and honest communication, active listening, embracing chaos and unwavering dedication.

This shit will humble you. And I love every minute of it. 2019 is going to be another step forward…and the journey has only just begun.
